Been away 2 days and just come back to some massive looking Bishop Ranger chicks ha.

They are very laid back and friend just like meat birds should be.

Just done the bullseye check on all 7 of the Indian Game eggs laid today and all look fertile

Think the incy could be back on next week

[member=82026]Dave C[/member] you know those pullets and cockerel you kept from last year's broilers where they both pullet galouse and red rangers? I'm thinking of ordering some of each probably after easter from S&T poultry.

Dave C · « **Reply #650 on:** April 07, 2017, 05:53:22 pm »

Yes that's just there names for them, they are really Sasso T551 and Sasso X431A.

I have chicks off the birds I kept back now.

Growing like weeds

There is pro's & cons of both but I'm hoping a cross between them will be a perfect Duel Purpose bird.

Look forward to seeing how they progress mate.

Yes fingers crossed my Bishop Rangers have a bit of meat on them, but you'll be finding out for yourself in a few weeks mate

Charlie1234 · « **Reply #653 on:** April 07, 2017, 08:56:14 pm »

Iam Looking forward to that

I have my stables cleaned out ready for the IG as well and have just ordered a new 60 bird electric hen as an early birthday present to myself

Dave C · « **Reply #654 on:** April 07, 2017, 09:04:30 pm »

Starting to collect IG eggs tomorrow

Dave C · « **Reply #655 on:** April 08, 2017, 06:15:54 pm »

They are 4 days old now.

Bishop Rangers

Feathering up well

Hybrid Meat x Marans

Cockerels have black spots on them

Pullets are black (maybe)

Nice strong looking chicks mate

Decided to turn my 3 light sussex into dinners recently and was so disappointed,cock was tough and the 2 hens we had earlier were tasty but nothing to them.

I am officially over my L.S.phase of bird keeping,not a breed i will be keeping again for eggs or meat.

Bramham Wiltshire Horns · « **Reply #659 on:** April 10, 2017, 01:03:06 pm »
