Nice! Those are some big chickens.

2 more in a pen enjoying their last day on earth, and this will wrap up this project for the season...
Here is some quick math I put to it...
Hard to say how much per bird. I have been raising layer pullets in the same pen (and same feed) as the meaties, so this is a SWAG
10 birds @ $2 ------$20
4 bags feed @$20 (rounded up high for an even number)-----$80
$100 invested divided by 10 birds is $10/chicken
....Now, back out what the 6 layer pullets consumed in feed so I am estimating about $7/per chicken. Not too bad for some home grown 100% organic yard bird. The way it tastes compared to store bought is worth every penny
:bbq
Where is the feathers flying you forgot to include the cost of the plucker...
:saluting
That's extra
:tung
I can use that for plucking turkeys and other stuff so I didn't include all those extras. Didn't include the scratch feed I gave them daily either as I have it to give my other chickens.
I'll upload the feather plucker video one day when I get time
