This is my second year raising meat chickens. The first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them. They were different breeds and it was a little hard to kill them. They tasted okay but not good enough to do it again. The next time I ordered 25 Cornish Cross chicks.he first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them.
