Post by: harry on November 06, 2009, 09:17:06 am

Hmm....well could be as they are a large bird.  Never tried 'em tho.     We've had Sasso's in the past and they are great.   We also bump off the Light Sussex Cockerels cos they make a good size and when they become spiteful - we get our own back  ;).....Would never eat a Doodle tho  ::)
