:drool How old are they when you harvest and can I buy some hatching eggs from you next year?
 
They will be 15 pounds at around 15-16 weeks. They are full grown around 16-18 weeks and still tender and juicy.

I have a whole thread on them. The eggs do not ship well. I do not get a great hatch rate with them and shipping just knocks them in the teeth.

I have a waiting list for birds, but I do have 6-7 flocks out there now of people selling them, besides myself. The idea is to have a self-sustaining meat bird.
 
Evening all, I'm a bit behind here on the Pond. I spent a lot of the day with my mom. We went shopping and found some things for the funeral. I also got fabric to make a chicken diaper since I couldn't find my bin of fabric - has been misplaced during the move and hasn't turned back up yet. So I might take a crack at making a pattern for the diaper tonight.

Have you looked to see if he is selling them on CL or FB? Or do you think he just wants them for himself? PM me his name, I'll do some digging.
I mean looking for sale ads, but the earth type of digging may come later. :lol:

Sorry for the birds, but you probably did better by leaving and letting your dad handle it.

I have been watching Craigslist - I check it almost daily - and haven't seen them posted. If he thinks he's gonna make major money on two mixed breed chicks he's in for a shock, lol. Don't know if they made it through the night because, of course, when my Dad was going to go over there to talk to him suddenly he actually wasn't around today and won't be home during an afternoon until Sunday. So now we have to wait until then to talk to him about the whole situation.

He's probably not gonna be happy, because my father will be informing him that those chicks are now his deal and he's not to try to put them back out with my flock when they get too large to be in the house. I don't want them near my birds after they've been living in the house with his menagerie of pet store birds who have heaven knows what.

And of course he's gonna get an earful about the rest of what went down, too.

I'm looking forward to it too! Although it didn't seem like there was a ton of competition.
