    Broiler or layer?

    Everyone -- Thanks for your feedback. I suspected that he was a cornish cross... Just wanted to make sure before it came time to butcher him! While a little sad, since he's so sweet, he's serving his purpose, and I'll be sure to use all of him.

    Chickens and ducks as roommates?

    I tucked a broiler in with my flock of 18 khaki campbells, they were standoffish at first, but get along now.

    Hello!

    Just joined the forum :) I have 18 khaki campbells (3 months old) 20 layers (5 wks) and Cornish cross birds coming in a month. I raised some broilers last year, but new to the egg layers. I live in Ohio with my husband, son and dogs.

    Broiler or layer?

    Ended up with a chicken who needed a home (long story). He's living with my khaki Campbell's, its super sweet but looking more and more like a broiler every day... I will butcher it if it's a broiler/Cornish cross because I know they can't live long before getting too big, but want to make sure...
