stevo79 569 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've reared table birds for Xmas,we bought 100 sassos which I think is just another name for a Ross cob. I personally would never have them again. They eat you out of pocket put weight on to quick, struggle to stand up some just die. As thy above says they can grow to some very big weights but we're not a pleasure to keep at all. But unfortunately if your rearing birds for buisness these sorts if birds are what you have to use. I think there are more breeds available now, but just for yourself at home the indian game x is hard to beat IMO ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
