Big John, the best I can tell you is this; Starting with your breeding stock, pick out the best birds. Not only the biggest, but the largest AND most active. This will give you the most meat. I am going to breed 3rd generation next summer. My 2nd gen. are doing great. They are from my original stock, and may have the same father, but not the same mother. Or the opposite. I would start a breeding colony. Figure 1 Male to 4 Hens to start. If you are starting with new breeders and they have lived together from birth they will not have a problem with dominance. Also, the males will be pretty busy.John, birds of this type are hard to mess up. After all, you are not breeding brains, you're breeding meat. Bset of luck! Ghost.
Thanks all! Once in a while I get lucky.It is while the wife is gone! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. LOL!
