    Why are white Cornish rocks so famous for their meat.

    Oh now that I've checked on websites and images i understand they are in one big warehouse type building, And the egg layer like Rhode island reds or white leghorns are kept in cages.

    Why are white Cornish rocks so famous for their meat.

    Thanks for the reply. And what I mean by cages is that factories keep them in small cages until they're ready to slaughter, or all of them crammed into a building just as crowded

    Wild chicken vs domesticated.

    If you were looking for a meat chicken and you only cared about the taste wouldn't a wild chicken like the Sumatra or red jungle fowl taste much more delicious because they've been flying and eating plants for there entire lives the other meat birds like Rhode island reds and Plymouth rocks have...

    Why are white Cornish rocks so famous for their meat.

    The white Cornish rock is so popular because they grow meat way faster than other chickens. But are they really that good to eat if they spent hundreds of generations in cages getting fatter and more lazy with so many issues?

    Very unusual chick, Guinea / chicken hybrid!!

    I understand that if I were to implant a chicken's gizzard into a mute swan, even if the organ transplant fit and connected to the other organs, the two poultry are to different from each other to be compatible.

    They are very neat hybrids. how much of those hybrids do you think you have, And what do you call this new Guinea chicken? I wonder why they don't have wattles like the rooster and guinea hen. Maybe their wattles are to different to find a suitable match.

    Very unusual chick, Guinea / chicken hybrid!!

    That does seem like a good idea, If they are in a cage and aren't free ranging outside they won't be able to do anything besides mate. I think i should cage them when they are 3 months old and see what happens. But if they don't breed in three months i will release them in a larger coop with...

    Very unusual chick, Guinea / chicken hybrid!!

    Well if i can't breed them together , then i guess i'll have to genetically combine the two species into one hybrid some day soon. Thanks for the reply Alije

    Yep that cross would look very weird a chicken with a long neck and odd beak or bill. I wonder if that is possible chickens are easy to breed because they have been domesticated. But I'm not sure the swan have hybrids with a rooster. I think that would be the most odd hybrid of all poultry.

    Very unusual chick, Guinea / chicken hybrid!!

    Later on once i have some more time and room i was thinking of breeding a chicken with all other primary poultry like... Swan goose duck peafowl quail turkey guinea. I did not add a pheasant because they are to closely related to a peafowl, I don't think this hybrid if crossed would turn out...

    I was thinking of breeding a self blue old English game rooster with a speckled guinea hen so they could possibly keep their flying ability!

    Very unusual chick, Guinea / chicken hybrid!!

    Wow! that's very neat I've been thinking about breeding a guinea and a strong rooster, I never knew there would be a person who would share it on backyard chickens. I can't wait to see what their going to look like when they are fully grown. That is very cool i hope you keep us updated as they grow.
