Yup. Here they sell in 2 packs still and I have seen them at BJ's in 4
packs I think.

They are not as 'cheap' as just run of the mill small chickens of the
2-3lb type but they right size for us.

On size though, I made (for me) good success! I am 108.8 today. Thats
only a little off my goal gain weight of 110.
