    The roos can get up to 15lbs, that's the size of a small turkey. But average is around 9-12lbs for roos and 7-10lbs for pullets.

    I've processed birds at 6 weeks and got birds between 6-10lbs.

    Chickens grow fairly quick regardless. Most egg layers are dropping eggs around 20 weeks.

    Yea, they have great customer service. I've found cheaper hatcheries but have never used them because of the great service I've received.

    I think McMurray is the best around. From what I've heard. I got mine local, because I wasn't getting a bunch.

    Well our slaughter went smoothly. I was going to share pics but felt it was a bit graphic (though it was done correctly and humanely). I did how ever snap a few more pics of the little reddish brown bird.

    Ok, I'm going with ameruacana. The black in the wings looks like ours, as well as the small comb. Did you keep that one, or not?
