Observing Breast Condition Guides Cockerel Marketing
Iowa State College poultry specialist W. R. Whitfield urges farmers to market heavier cockerels when they reach about 3% to 4 pounds and Leghorns at 2 pounds and up. He notes round-breasted birds with satiny skin finish sell best, while lack of breast flesh signals immaturity and thinness. Retrieving the bird upside down reveals breast flesh without handling, and opening feathers shows skin condition.
