When I get my screwed together 110 I'll give it a test drive on this Australorp rooster. A real world test. He's 14 weeks old and 5 lbs. is
normal for this large breed at this age. A Cornish Cross meat bird would weigh 10+ lbs. at this age. A big difference between dual purpose birds and meat birds. They are bred for feed conversion to meat. The Cornish is the chicken you buy packaged in the grocery store. DM
