    I would be interested in seeing some more pictures of your dark cornish and receiving price quote plus some breeding stock source information. That is one lovely stocky little hen and if her boyfriend is just as fine looking, I am gonna be needing some of their babies.

    Hi there, I was wondering if you have butchered any of these lovely birds and what their dress weight was and at what age, cock/hen, live weight? They look lovely and true to type, but for my project I would love to know just how meaty they actually are. Thank you, Alex.

    ...kick and scream and bite and claw until you can get your hands on some viable stock. For those of you with these beauties, when possible, please be merciful and be willing to pass on all your hard work to people who really care. *stepping down from soap box and hiding it underneath the coop*

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

    Glad to see you back Katy. We have not met, though I am utterly grateful you created this thread and brought such a wonderful life to it. Your birds look amazing! How has their mortality rate been past the 18month mark? I read that that was the largest issue you were combating with your line of...

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

    Ok, let me start by saying that I just spent the last couple days reading through all 215 pages of this thread. When it was first started, almost 2 years ago, I didn't think it was going to go too far and I was a bit irritated at the time that I couldn't find much information on LF Cornish and...

    I want the best Dark Cornish breeding stock I can find! Suggestions?

    I got 30 Dark Cornish roos and 5 hens from Cackle and was quite happy considering that they were hatchery stock but time has passed and I regret not having started out with prime stock. Trust me, in the long run, spend the money now and you won't regret it. I'm still looking for a good supplier...

    Has anyone raised Dark Cornishes as meat birds?

    I raise Dark Cornish and Dark Cornish crossed over Barred Rock. To get the pure dark Cornish to 6-8lbs you are talking 28weeks. These are NOT fast growing birds. The younger you butcher the more bone to meat ratio, they don't really start to flesh out until AFTER 20weeks. My crosses are fleshing...

    Crazy Chicken!!!! Help

    I have 4 leghorns in a flock of over 40 and the 4 of them make more noise than the others combined. I personally love their squawk but I am out in the country with a lot of land for them to roam on.

    6+ weeks, now what?

    They are actually in a fairly secure fenced area in the center of a very dense thicket. I am trying to avoid having to cut my way into it if they will come off the nest, BUT if they won't, I'm willing, if need be. I'm mostly worried for their health and don't know the length of a turkeys...

    6+ weeks, now what?

    I have two hens that decided to lay their eggs and brood deep in a thicket. It's been over 6 weeks since they began brooding, obviously they didn't succeed, now what? Should I make the effort to cut down the thicket and remove the eggs? Will they eventually stop brooding on their own? This is a...

    Praise for the Dark Cornish

    Hey there Steve, This probably isn't fair to ask but I was wondering how long you would be having this sale on your dark cornish eggs. I would really love to get in on it but need to wait it out for me next broody, hopefully just a week or two at the most. I am just not happy with the quality of...

    Wishard Bronze Turkey Eggs

    I am going to stick my nose into this conversation because I was looking for Wishard Bronze last year with no response from anyone. It is VERY exciting to me to see so much genuine interest grow for these birds after just one year. I was lucky enough to get a hold of Bernie Nash before his...

    Getting flack for killing our meaties -- and need some reassurance!

    HoneyDoll, We live in a world of ignorance in a time of limitless knowledge, the people who are doing what is right by the world and the animals MUST have a backbone and try to inform the willfully ignorant. They don't have to agree with you, but if you can just explain to them how you explained...
