The Sagitta is a dual purpose bird that is a cross between a Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire Red and Cornish Cross. They are a heavy, docile breed that will provide large eggs as well as a nice size bird on the table.

Question
Pros: Eggs!
Cons: Cornish??
I am wondering because of the cross of the Cornish in the breed, how long do the hens live? Does the cross in the breed make them have healthier, longer lives? I have 2 Sagitta hens for eggs and just want to make sure they are going to live as long as a regular breed- 5 years or so

Pros: very good free range
Cons: none so far
I am new at this and wanted dual purpose that did well in heat. I live in FL and it was very hot this year. They did very well in the heat. When they were 6 weeks started free ranging them hardly have to feed them. with 25 of them went through only one bag of feed this month. They are 3 1/2 months now so have not started laying yet. They grow faster than my RIR and better temperament.

One other weird thing was one of the ten turned out white like an Amber white. I don't know if this was a misplaced chick in the brooder, or if the Sagittas have vastly different colors like this. Considering the parentage I think she was a misplaced pullet.
