I've read that the recommended age to process SS's is 20 weeks. Approximately how much do roos/hens weigh at that age?

Thanks,
MCA
 
A guy did a study on a few breeds, that was one of them. Harvested at 18 weeks 4 days though.

Thanks for the report. That was quite an interesting read and had good info about the SS's. Maybe next year I'll do something similar to see what breed I like best for meat. For now I'll just be watching my SS's and EE's grow up.
