    White Cornish: Building a Quality, Sustainable Flock for Meat and More.....

    Fat Daddy, I just had the exact same thing happen to my large rooster. He was close to 12 lbs. I found him dead in the morning, laying on his back. No marks, no signs of illness prior. It's a tragedy. He was hugely wide across his back. I have two of his sons, but they aren't as big.

    Red Laced Cornish X and project talk (pics p. 8)

    The one cornish cockerel that I didn't keep this year, dressed out at 8.5 lbs. I originally got my cornish cross eggs from BigMedicine.

    Grazing Frames

    I used a livestock panel as a basis for the frame. Then covered it with plastic hardware cloth.

    Dehydrating eggs for long term storage

    I have scrambled, cooked them in the oven in a pan lined with parchment paper, then dehydrated them. I then used my food processor to make them into a course powder. I put them in mason jars, with oxygen absorbers, then vacuum seal the mason jar. They last for well over a year. I use them...

    Yes, he is a handsome fellow. I had one like him too this year, from the group I got as eggs from you, but he was not as chunky though. I did get some really chunky girls though, that will be in my breeding pen this year!
