I was selecting breeders for a meat bird project and I chose to hatch the largest hen (peu) egg we had at the time. I was so confident it'd be BIG that I pre-named it KFC.
we hatched 9 chicks 8 were boys, KFC was the smallest one of all, but he was dominating all of the other boys.
when all the other boys hit their max weight KFC kept growing and he was such a nice boy, that we kept him when it was time to cull the others. he then proceeded to become 2nd top bird (right underneath his dad)
he has tried to protect the hens as a chick to adulthood.
My avatar is a hen called clubber that I had had for 5 years, On 2017 my hen clubber got eaten by a fox, I am still so sad as I loved her very much.poor cluby girl
