    Breeding Cornish X Rocks

    big and meaty are 2 completely different things. I've seen plenty of fast growing BIG cochin and brahma cockerels, yet they never did mature out to have any meat on their bones.

    Breeding Cornish X Rocks

    Black Cornish do not exist. Real Cornish are not adding any 'fast' growth. Matter of factly, they're slowing down maturity rates. This breed is by some margin extremely slow to mature.

    my hatchery based silkies were pathetic layers. Only reason they remained was to be an incubator. good thing I'm married-- I don't have to worry about being attractive anymore.

    I've had bantam cornisb.. very good bantam cornish... I've never seen a leg horn as small as them. Isn't much out there as small as a bantam cornisb

    And... there Is no such thing as a red laced cornish. I hate that title. It's bogus... they are called something laced red... like white laced red. Blue laced red. Black laced red. Etc

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

    A mutt that doesn't lay as good as a leg horn nor has as much meat as a Cornish bantam. Anytime leg horn and meat is mentioned in the same sentence the only thing that would rival them for a poor choice would be a silkie. The rir Cornish cross would yield a bird that laid eggs and tasted...

    Research colors better. You're way off base. Genetics in general are simple. Each offspring gets one chromosome copy from each parent. Your philosophy is bogus.

    I'm with Hellbender with regards to the masculity/ aggressive/ fertility correlation. I'll go one step further towards what I think he is trying to get across. The effects are not seen in the first generation, but it's in the 2nd 3rd or more. I can testify that by keeping the physically good...

    Remember, Cornish people don't really care about eggs. They only care which ones are fertile and actually hatch.... LOL

    I know, but as I have already stated over and over, not everyone participating on this site is as understanding and realistic minded as I am. Yes, there are GMO occuring, but it is to fill a very specific void and create something much needed. To modify these chickens isn't needed, can't be...

    Genetic selection at it's finest. Genetic selection has created these birds, and can continue to 'improve' them further. This is the exact reason why we have miniature Jerseys and Herefords, as well as the original Chianina and Belgium Blue cattle. Exact reasons why we have Jumbo Cortnix...

    I wouldn't say plastic... it's taken them 60 years to get this far. Genetic selection is an amazing thing. Nothing else quite like it.

    Likewise, these birds aren't bred to lay either. yes, they'll lay large eggs, of course, they'll also lay small ones, and flat ones, and round ones, and double yolked ones, and even triple yolked ones. they'll lay an egg of every shape and size, and every kind of yolk. Most will be infertile...
