i have done some research and mcmurray hatchery is the best place i have found so far. I am looking for a meat bird that grows fastest, and largest. Mcmurray's Jumbo Cornish Cross (Cornish X Rocks)
is suppossed to be ready at 8 weeks, 7.5lbs for males, 5.5lbs for female,
and it looks like according to their website, they aint the healthiest and probably wont make it past 10 weeks.
lets not discuss morality here. Is there any benefit, besides a higher survival rate, to choosing a different broiler? is there any other breed that can grow at a similar rate, or a comparable breed?
Does anyone have any experience with Mcmurray?
is anyone aware of another hatchery where i can buy around 10 birds, Mcmurray requires a purchase of 25 and thats a few more than i wanted to order to start. plus butchering 25 birds will be a big job for just me.
