I have 12 CX. One bird died the day I got them but TSC replaced the bird free of charge. One bird had some sort of leg problem as a chick and I thought seriously about culling it but in a little over a week the leg problem went away. The leg problem may have been a vitamin deficiency of some sort, don't know. They were raised on fermented feed. The birds are now 16 weeks old (not a typo). All 12 are still alive, healthy and very mobile. They still run (waddle), jump (not so high) and try to fly. They even run uphill. They had free range about 2 hours most every day and were not over fed. One pullet has laid an egg. The roosters are breeding the pullets.
