A Disappointing Discovery

A disappointing discovery indeed. Our first round of meat birds are NOT meat birds. They have turned out to be most likely White Rocks. Darn, darn, darn. I kept muttering over the last few weeks on their slow growth. When the second round of birds came in and exploded in growth I knew something was up. This really messes up my plans, since we were raising some to sell this year and this will cut out half of what we could have offered. I guess I will keep the hens as layers. Their only saving grace is that they do lay brown eggs. The roosters will have to go in the freezer at some point. One of those little bumps in the road...
