Cornish Rock may be different from Cornish Cross meat birds.We were given 6 Cornish rock chicks about 5 years ago. They were our first chickens ever.They were messy and totally ripped up their yard area.We then mixed them with 6 Easter eggers. The Cornish hens were great layers and the last one passed away a couple of months ago. I'm assuming they are the same type. They usually sell them at Tractor Supply.Our remaining rooster is also a meat chicken we raised from a egg.His foster mother was a white little silky. He is Huge but is now 4 years old.I would have done the same thing. No matter how short her life is you cared.
Do you have any pics of these bird their 3rd, 4th, 5th year?
