Frying Pan Special

Frying Pan SpecialsI ordered 15 (along with a diverse mix of 10 other chicks and my freebie) and lost 3 within the first few days. 1 little runt ... Poor little guy ... I separated him 3 times because he was so weak. But he threw a terrible tantrum when separated, so i never separated him for more than 18 hrs at a time. I gave him up for dead all 3 times. At 14 weeks, i can barely tell the runt from the other boys. He has completely caught up in size, though his tail feathers are not quite as long. Such sweet boys. And they love love love to crow. Their giant red crowns are brightly colored, making them beautiful to look at. I should be waiting for this review until after processing, but at 14 weeks I've fallen in love with these guys. I'm a first time chicken mom, and i thought a bunch of boring white roos would not be loving...but i was wrong. Processing day will be hard, but I'm looking forward to tasting fresh birds for the first time in many years.

Not worth it. Get something biggerThese bird grew fast early on but stopped around 11-12 weeks. No matter how much we feed they stay the same size and weight. We processed 2 of them today and they were a whopping 1.13lbs fully dressed. Absolute waste of time and energy. Going to have to spend more money or feed for a terrible return on meat. Not to mention they are MEAN. They killed one of my favorite hens. They cornered her and pecked her to death. It was horrific. Not worth the time and money!!!!
