I only have 3, not sure of their gender yet, but they have grown well in comparison to the other chicks.<br /><br />We bought pullets in two batches....out of our oldest batch we have 3 roos. We have Americanas, Jersey Black Giants, Speckled sussexs (they were supossed to be Marans!), 1 Maran, High Production Reds, Cochins, Silver Laced Wyandottes, 1 Blue Andulusian & Buff Orpingtons. All are for eggs & bug control.<br /><br />I want to do meat birds next year, but I've heard so much awful stuff on the CornishX that I've been hesitant.....looking at my Buff Orpingtons, I could see how they would make a decent table bird.<br /><br />Will also look into the K22s mentioned by your blog commentor :)<br /><br />Good luck with your birds!* Crystal *https://www.blogger.com/profile/05747729287507332288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441779658562113179.post-59819797898312347982011-07-08T20:42:27.497-07:002011-07-08T20:42:27.497-07:00Thanks for the tip!
