Wow guys I thought this post was dead. Anyways the reason I was worried is I once crossed a cornish bantam to a cochin bantam many years ago and hatched 2 chicks which did mature as fast as the meat birds you order, maybe faster. The chicks ended up being a pair and by four moths old broke down...

In my original post I noticed I made a mistake so maybe that is the problem. To clarify things I need info on crossing any heavy breed rooster (with no cornish lineage) to a full (100%) cornish hen please!!! At this point I am starting to think I will be making history by doing this.

I swear it's like I'm stepping into uncharted territory. Of all the people on here am I the first to ever attempt this?

Thank you. That is my thinking too. I still dont want to risk causing a health issue though. I know that eventually somone will come across my post and have a definate answer. Sooner than later I hope I'm getting antsy about setting eggs. It's that time of year you know.

Thanks for all the input so far but still not compfterable with doimg it yet

I know this subject has been covered many times but it seems like everyone uses cornish roosters. Does anyone know or has anyone ever used standard cornish cross hens with this cross. I have 2 dark cornish hens and am wondering what I would get if I crossed to a Partridge Rock, Speckled Sussex...
