Wrath's Marans

Thanks for sharing that video. It came across my Facebook feed yesterday and I didn’t have time to watch a 1/2 hour video so I scrolled past it. I needed a reminder. Now I need to try Bresse. If all goes well I should be setting eggs in late February or early March and do it first cull sometime in June or July.
 
Getting close...4 of the BCM boys are 19 weeks ish and the rest are all younger. I'd have to check ages on the Silver boys, they might be close to that 19 # also.
I typically aim for 16 ish weeks to get them off the feed bill earlier. I did a batch at 14 weeks because I was going on vacation and wanted to take care of it early to make things easier on the chicken sitters. I don’t recommend 14 weeks it hit between molts and plucking pin feathers was horrible. Mine were only 1/2 or 3/4 Marans form the olive egger project

@2ndTink was poking fun, she knows I can't process my birds. The couple people I have that do, want around 20 weeks.
