Dawn, Some while back there was a lady from California that was into meat hunting, ie. anything that moved, She raised chickens and sold the roosters at top price. She kept them until they were a about year old and sold them for $15.00 ea. On slaughter day she have customers waiting at the gate. On a large ranch the chickens really had the run of the place. I don't remember what breeds she had but they were not what we call "meat birds" They were things like RIRs, Plymouth Rocks, Australorps. etc. Regular chickens. Any of the various heavys would be the same.
