Mixed chicks in Error

Yesterday I bought 10 one day old Hubbard Broilers.....( for family reunion in Dec0............when I got home to the farm I noticed they didnt all look alike.........turns out there were 5 Hubbards and 5 Sunshine chicks mixed together.The Hubbards were only one day old and bigger than the one week old Sunshines .....whats up with that ?


We'll wait and see what happens here.

We also butchered the last of the Hubbards born Sept 6 at 49 days old.Had weights of 2750,2250,1800 and 1200 for a total of 8000 and average of 2000 each. They dressed out at 1550,1150,1750,and 900 for a total of 5350,averaging 1337.5.
