It's looking like that's the case? I'm confused because I raised 21 CX to processing on basically the same food access schedule in a very similar setup, except I kept them on meatbird feed throughout, and had less trouble with them. Both of these breeds are supposed to be hardier and less...

Update on my Freedom Ranger New Hampshires and White Rangers (3m broilers). They are now ~8 weeks old. At 6 weeks I had to process one of the NH for a varus/valgus deformity. It was barely 1-2 lbs fully dressed...

Chicks are 4 weeks now and in the coop. 12 White Ranger, all but 3 are roosters, and 11 New Hampshires, maybe 6 hens. All from Freedom Ranger Hatchery. White Ranger are looking very CX, but a bit smaller, and they feather better than the CX I've been getting from Welp. NH are smaller than...

Interesting. I wonder how those compare to the NH?

I didn't check if FRH has those. I think Murray McMurray was selling a broiler Delaware last year or so, but I heard poor things about how they processed out and didn't want to chance it, so I skipped those, and haven't been interested in the Delaware (regular or broiler) since.

For interested parties, I have ten NH and ten White Rangers coming from Freedom Ranger Hatchery in March. Gonna see how I like them and how they grow out. I'll compare them to the Ginger Broilers I've been raising from Murray McMurray over this past year (not so crazy about those). Wish me...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info!

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is helpful to know. Did you try and keep any White Rangers back for breeding? If so, how did that work? How long did the New Hampshires take to get to butcher weight compared to the White Rangers? I assume you fed/managed them both the same? I've...

Thank you so much for the information! Super helpful! So good to know. Sounds like your weather is similar to middle/northeastern USA. [I'm not as familiar with weather on the western seaboard of the US, so I can't comment on that.] Have fun with your new pigs!

Thank you! Super helpful info!!! Freedom Ranger also offers a "Sasso chicken" (white/amber barred bird, link below), so it's possible the White Rangers are related to the birds you are talking about - they may have purchased both lines...

Has anyone raised the White Rangers from Freedom Ranger hatchery? How did they grow? What was your experience with these? In particular, I'm interested to know how they compare to Cornish Cross. From the website, it sounds like these have the growth rate and size of a cornish cross (more or...
