Title: xworth
Post by: sabrina on February 20, 2011, 05:17:41 pm

Anyone out there tried this breed, was chatting about pigs to a Kune-Kune breeder the other day and he was saying what fine meat birds they make. I had never heard of them but may think about having a go and see how they work out.  :chook:

I've got 3 youngsters ;)

I think I have 2 girls and one boy but not too sure yet - they are about 12 weeks old.
They say it is the best tasting meat bird but the cockerels are not ready til they are about 30 weeks old.
I like their personality, they are very sweet :)
