The largest one of the last week's batch was 7 1/2 pounds dressed weight!
We had considered pulling some of the hens out for layers but with some added research it seems best to add them to the freezer.
We put in an order for our next crop of birds. It is a bit later than I wanted to get them started. I know the cooler fall temps will increase their need for extra feed but we are hoping to get them in the freezer before winter sets in.
We have been totally pleased with these birds. They have been easy to raise and weighed out sooner than we had expected.
