    Heritage breed Cornish Chickens: why are they ignored and not widely bred

    I was looking for Cornish Chickens earlier this year. I had a terrible time trying to find them through breeders all across the USA. There are none. At least, there are none that are publicly mentioned on any website that lists breeders of chicken breeds. The ones I found were no longer...

    3 day old cornish cross chicks dying suddenly???

    We raise Cornish Cross every year for 4 years, in batches of at least 100 twice a year. We picked up our chicks from the hatchery on 5/17/23, today is 5/20/23 and we have lost close to 15 so far. No idea what's going on and we have never lost this many so early. In fact we normally don't even...

    Cornish Meat Line

    I’m starting a project line of Dark Cornish specifically for meat and would love to share the ride with y’all! Current goals are to push for early fleshing at 12 weeks first and foremost and also work towards correct type and color. I have been tossing around the idea of using some cornish cross...

    Cornish Cross with skin issues?

    We have a small flock of Cornish Cross due to be processed by the end of this month. However when tending to them, we noticed on one of our roosters this skin issue? Maybe? We aren't entirely sure what it could be and Google has come up empty. Thought maybe someone here could help photos...

    Is this a Cornish X?

    Hey guys, I’m making this thread for @cluckmecoop7 because her internet isn’t working. So, she bought 10 buff orpingtons online and picked them up last week. The hatchery sent a free bonus chick, and it was white instead of yellow like the others. Now she is suspicious it is a meat bird because...

    Atwoods had these marked as Dark Cornish. They looked identical as chicks but not so much now. They'll be 8 weeks this Friday.

    Chicken Fencing

    Hi all, Raising meat birds for market, wanted to see if anyone knew of a fence that would be easy to set up. Biggest concern is the chickens slipping through small gaps. Current set up, any suggestions are welcome.

    Dark Cornish One eye closed

    I have a Dark Cornish around 6 months of age and I noticed yesterday that she was standing around with one eye closed and one open. I wasn’t too sure if I was being paranoid and maybe something was bothering her but I noticed it again today. Her behavior is still fairly normal, she is wandering...

    Cornish crosses with respiratory illness

    I’d hate to let them suffer until butcher time. Can I give my Cornish crosses an injection of Tylan 50? Does it affect the meat? Can it hurt us to eat it? Please and thank you!

    Processing Cornish X: A First Timer's Overview/Experience (pic heavy, only 1 "graphic")

    Today I processed my first meat bird. Wanted to document my process in detail. Maybe other first timer's will get some help from it, or I will get some helpful tips. I didn't take many pics of the actual evisceration because I was concentrating and dirty. Also this is my first time and I don't...

    Meat Chickens and Bumblefoot

    I’m not certain where to post this- it IS a medical concern as well as for the safety of us. I’m in quite a big predicament, a few of our 4 - 5 week old Cornish crosses have bumblefoot. I’m not certain how they got it, but I quickly separated the birds from the main group. In meat birds, it it...

    Ranger breeding project

    I know I'm not the first person to have this idea, so before I dive in and go full crazy chicken lady (I'm already the crazy goat lady!) I'd love to hear from people who have attempted breeding Rangers before - from whichever proprietary line. What were your goals, what worked or didn't, what's...

    Meat chickens with dual chickens?

    We have four Cornish hens that will be going to freezer camp in a couple of weeks. (I saw someone else said that in a post and I loved it. I can’t remember who said it though.) Is it ok to put them in the coop with our egg laying chickens until then? Should we keep them separated and in their...
