Excellent meat birds

While these birds are an excellent choice for meat, they should be butchered fairly early.  Once they reach their ideal weight, they slowly deteriorate.

Leaving them to grow into an older age brings many health problems.  And they do not breed naturally due to their breast size.  Given all this, they are not good candidates if your goal is egg production.
