Butchered that black laced cockerel I showed above today. I thought the redder guy had better bone and a more compact body. He weighed right over 9 pounds live- and the dressed out hanging carcass weight was just over 5.

Third picture shows the carcass next to two rabbits I also butchered today. Quite a size difference.

Satisfied with my backyard meat bird project. For reference, that knife has a 4 1/2 inch blade, and a total length of 9 1/2 inches.

Big Med... really sorted through young birds today, yanked the cockerels to another pen, and left what I think are the pullets and the retention cockerels where they are. Seems like there was 7 blue laced red pullets I want to keep, a really good dark cockerel, 2 black laced pullets and 6 whites. I think 2 of the whites are cockerels- one of which is looking like a very good bird. .

Now I can't remember who, or why, we were trying to come up with his name.

I was looking for a good breeder for large dark cornish near Tennessee. I missed your posts but better late than never. Any contact info on Mr. Keith?

This guy will play an important part in our breeding program next year. Will put my very best bodied females with him, regardless of color. Hatched early May.
