Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Broilers and Roasters: The Specialties of the Market Poultryman
The desirable average weights for large broilers are three to three and one-half pounds to the pair; that is, a pound and a half to a pound and three-quarters apiece. They may go two pounds or more each, but when the desirable weights are exceeded they will not, as a rule, bring as high prices per pound, so that there is seldom gain, and may often be loss, by marketing these larger chickens as broilers.
