First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

[macgro7]

I have the sasso red broiler chicks. What do you think about crossing couple of them to a dorking or indian game cock? Anyone tried it?

The Sasso Gallic growers were 10 weeks yesterday.
The weight range is 2.24kg - 2.41kg that's from the 4 random birds I just cought.
With them being free range they are getting wiser each weigh in.

There faster than they look, ha.

I have a single painted dorking that has been involved in different crosses.
I'm not impressed by her genetics. You might have better results than me if you have quality stock

These will have Cornish Indian game cock over them in a few months.

Watch this space.

see what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket

My hatch rate was down to 73%
Fertility was off,Not sure if it's the hen or the rooster. I had two EE eggs (same hen) neither one had any development

SIGNING OUT FOR A WHILE, FOLKS!
I am relocating to western Colorado next week, so I'm shutting down the Arizona chicken farm. 2 ladies showed up today, and took almost all my chickens, the second lady is coming back for the rest. 3 trucks packed wall to wall with chooks! The second lady is negotiating for my pens now, she wants it all!
I will get set up again in Colorado after I get moved and settled in, but no more chickens for now. You know I'll be lurking on my normal threads and keeping tabs on y'all, so be good!

Good luck with the move pal

It's disappointing starting again I know, but can also be exciting, starting fresh & hopefully not making the same mistakes second time round

 

[duluthralphie]

Yeah, may the move go well, We would talk to you even if you did not have a chicken...


JR 73% is not a bad rate at all.. I think, IMHO those that claim they constantly have 80-90% hatches are using chicken math or just not good at basic arithmetic.
