I currently have 8 roosters. That is about 3 too many. I need to weigh them to see which I want to
keep.
There is one Rhode Island Red, 2 Partridge Plymouth Rocks
and 5 White Plymouth Rocks. The
Partridge Rocks are the best looking. The Rhode Island Red is at the top of the
pecking order as far as I can tell. I can barely tell the white ones apart. There
is one that took longer to develop than the others. At first I thought that was
not a good thing. Then I read about the Jersey Giant chicken. They are a meat
bird that take a long time to develop. The benefit is that the roosters meat
does not get tough as fast as other breeds do. If I can get a strain of White
Plymouth Rocks that is slow to develop, they would make a really nice meat
birds.
