In the Brooder
I was nervous about raising some cornish X after reading all of the horrible issues many people have with them. But so far mine have been great. They are at 5-1/2 weeks of age, you think their size looks like a good growth rate for that age? I took a pic of him by a standard gallon waterer. They scratch and forage like crazy. There is food right there, but they all are out of view scratching away. Their run is very large, wraps around the building quite a ways, about 650 sq. ft. They are currently mixed in with some production reds, australorps, sexlinks and leghorns. I have a younger batch inside the building. During the day I kick the older ones out and leave the young ones in. They all sleep together, no problems. I turned a brand new 10X12 shed into a chicken suite lol (wife not too happy.) Thanks for looking!
