Hello everyone!

[Jenbirdee]

I'm not sure what kind of chickens they are. I'm hoping to get some more this year. Here's a picture of my chickens. The one on the left is Miss Pearl Bodine. And the one on the right is Matilda.

They’re so pretty

Ummm. Those sure look like Cornish crosses and are sadly designed not to live very long. They put on so much meat weight so fast it puts a terrible stress on their legs and cardiovascular systems.

I thought that's what they might be. That's to bad Cornish crosses don't live very long. My girl's are big but aren't extremely heavy. They get around very well. They're very sweet and friendly chickens.

Limiting their feed intake may help lengthen their lives.
