And at what age do we consider him mature for weight? I always thought a year, but these Silvers seem to take longer for full maturity. He is about 7 months now.
Russ:
he will get a little bigger for sure. At his age anything over 5 or 5 1\2 lb would be great. That would hopefully put him around 6 1/2 lb or better by spring according to my records.
Connor Hogan:
The name of your posting makes me want to look at this

Expert = pretty much anybody from out of town, and they used to wear ties.
He looks very good to me. Maybe a little cold? Would be interested in his weight.

In the Army, we used to call that "flagpole expert", Mike - anyone outside of the shadow of his home post flagpole was an expert.
Fyremare:
Sadly I had to make the choice to cull this beauty for wry tail. So... out of 35 Silvers from 3 sources to choose from, I am down to 5 cockerels and my senior cock, 10 pullets and my senior hen. Not a single egg from any of the little rascals yet! They also have not been put in their breeding sets yet either.
Thanks for picking on me! Love it!!!
