Hey mytmouz
I googled this on sat. nite and it's comes up 6 weeks, reaching 4 lbs. claims of no steroids, but breed to grow bigger and faster, and they live in a space the size of an 8 1/2"X11" average.
I gotta tell you guys, I wish I hadn't posted that pic :!: I love grilled chicken, after reading y'alls stuff, I am not so sure I want to eat anymore of it :!: I probably will though :roll:

Zip.
Depends on the slaughter company, but the bigger birds like the drum in the pic will be larger than 6 weeks. 6 week birds are mostly restaurant/school sized proportionally. In the market, your customers are buying the looks, and the big uns look better, at the restaurant/school end, they are serving a piece, and buying by weight...
