I just wanted to drop a note how pleased I am with the Cornish Cross chickens I have been raising from Moyer's. They are much more active than I had expected. They love to eat the grass on our pasture/meadow, don't just lay around waiting to be fed, and generally seem to be very happy. I do move the tractor each night and take away the feed until morning which might explain a little. They are six weeks old at this point and should be plenty large to process by next weekend.
Of the 26 birds they sent, we lost 2 in the first few weeks. We have another that seems to be lame at this point but we are keeping it in a separate pen and it is still eating and drinking just fine.
I've been considering a different breed (red bros/FRs) for the fall, but so far I couldn't be happier with Moyer's CX's
