    I want to grow the WORLD RECORD cornish cross in size and weight

    Quote: Quick question. It took you more than 2 and half years for your cornish crosses to reach 31 pounds. My birds are weighing now about 14 pounds after 12 weeks. Just wanted to know if the growth is still rapid. When will my birds reach 22 pounds! I must also make myself crystal clear...

    I want to grow the WORLD RECORD cornish cross in size and weight

    Okay what about 24 pounds per bird. I have 10 Cornish crosses and I bought them as chicks on the 25th May 2010. They should have an average weight of about 15 pounds by now. I know it might sound impossible but at the rate of 2 pounds per week I should reach my target weight soon. I have also...

    Can you brood day old chicks outside with Propane / Gas Brooder.

    Quote: I agree but I'll just add predator-proof to this. Several small predators that don't bother grown chickens are attracted to and can kill small chicks so you need to be a little more careful in how you house them. I also brood mine outside the house, but they are in a hardware cloth...

    Free range coop.

    I was just wondering if there was anyone that has done free range farming with Cornish Crosses. What are the challenges. Surely you could not put baby chicks outside in the cold and expect them to survive or could you. I have an idea of doing some freerange cornish Cross farming but I am not...

    PVC Electrical Conduit Coop Construction what is the roof made out of.

    Sorry about that guys. What happened to cut and paste. I have seen a similar pic on BYC some time ago. The top had a sort of roof cover made from PVC cloth or something. Does anyone have the pic.

    Preventing Day-Olds from climbing on top of each other when sleeping.

    I have recently encounted a problem. I find that every night my day-olds and evens older chicks (up to 4 weeks and older) tend to huddle into one corner and climb on top of each other to keep warm I suppose. The next morning when I arrive I find that some of the chicks at the bottom are all...

    Preventing heavier meat birds from going "down on their legs."

    I would like to raise the above subject. I have been using this site and I must say that I have learnt a lot and it is awesome. I have spoken to quite a few people and many have raised the issue that heavier meat birds will go down on their legs due to the excessive weight. My question is how...
