What can I do with Ranger Classic roosters other than eating them when they are a few weeks old?
In Germany, Ranger Classic is perhaps the best known hybrid with slower growth. I keep reading about Freedom Ranger and Red Ranger on the forum. It is very possible that this Ranger Classic is closely related to the above mentioned hybrids and comes from Cornish Cross. Anyway, I don't really think there are big differences between Rangers. Maybe someone knows... Considering that I am going to do some crosses according to the clan system, namely 1. Melchener rooster x Ranger Classic hen, 2. Indian Game rooster x Ranger Classic hen, 3. Leghorn rooster x Ranger Classic hen and then 4. the offspring will be crossed with each other, also according to the clan system.
I want to ask you if Ranger Classic roosters can also be used in crosses in this system. I've read all sorts of conflicting opinions on the forum about hybrid roosters and I'm very unsure.
Thanks in advance!
