What age can u process Brahma. We are looking for a dual purpose bird and the Brahma looks promising. Any suggestions.

I also process Brahmas for the meat (Light Brahmas) and I agree that hatchery stock starts out smaller. You can start with them but the first year they will be small and have less breast meat than you are used to in chickens. As you breed them and grow out the babies keep the largest ones as breeding stock and eat the smaller. That way each generation you will get larger, heavier and meatier brahmas. The ones we just processed in April were about 10 pounds live weight and 8 pounds dressed out. They also had some very nice breast meat and TONS of dark meat. I am a dark meat person so this was perfect for me.So you have brahmas you process for meat. The reason these interest me is the brahma is meat, egg laying and broodness. Do u suggest another bird like this.
