    I'm glad to hear that Maude is doing well! She sounds like a total sweetheart.

    Are we Cornish Rocks? *UPDATE PG 13*

    Awww, poor Ethel!! She was very pretty, looks a lot like my Greta. What I would do, is put maybe two other girls, the friendliest ones, into Maude's run with her. That way, if she dies, the other two girls still have each other and can integrate back in with the regular flock. On the other...

    Robin'sBrood : Quote: Nice!! What colour is it? I'm interested to know if other Cornish X lay speckled eggs too! Yay, thats awesome! Not speckled, it was a very light tan color... and a nice, big double yolker. It looked like there was another one out there today that was shell-less...

    Robin'sBrood : One of my CR girls laid an egg! I think it was Maude, who had developed quite a large, red comb over the last few weeks. Shouldn't be long before Ethel starts laying... Nice!! What colour is it? I'm interested to know if other Cornish X lay speckled eggs too! Yay, thats...

    Are we Cornish Rocks? *UPDATE PG 13*

    Satisfied big sleepy babies enjoying the sunshine, that sounds cute. I can picture them lounging with a leg stretched out all content. It's good to hear that they were active and running around, LOL when mine were babies they were such lazy snugglebums and just cuddled and slept on my lap...

    Awwwww, ya, they are big now! My heart sure goes out to meaties, they're like special needs birds with disabilities. I'm nursing a recovered impacted crop right now because Greta gorged herself right after her dinner on the fresh spring grass that sprouted seemingly overnight. Silly girl, now...

    Are we Cornish Rocks? *UPDATE PG 13*

    I took mine off the chick feed when they were two weeks old and put them on a grower. If you can, I'd take away their feed at night too. Oh, I'm so sorry that three turned out to be meaties! Maybe their taking two weeks to start getting big is a good sign, and they won't be at such a high...

    Are we Cornish Rocks? *UPDATE PG 13*

    Hmm, my chicks weren't fed a special broiler feed, just regular 20% chick starter, and only for two weeks, too. Then I moved them to a regular 18% grower food, trying to keep their growth as slow as possible, and they were still twice as big as your chicks. Maybe your chicks aren't cornish X or...

    If it helps, here's a picture of Greta when she was 9 days old for comparison. She looks similar in development to your 2 week old guys. Unless my babies were abnormal giants, I don't think your chicks look like meaties! I wish I had pics of them standing for better comparison. My...

    HenMama, I found something that might interest you! Here's a blurb from the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy: http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/delaware.html "Though its economic dominance was short lived, the Delaware still makes an excellent dual-purpose bird. It has well-developed egg and...

    The legs don't look big enough, you're right. They look too slender. She's definitely waaaay smaller than mine were at 13 days. Perplexing little things, but she sure is cute! Here's hoping!

    Quote: I thought of that too, I'm going to research breeds. ETA what about white rocks? They're a big bird, perhaps they grow faster, too.

    Quote: Those are old pics of my 5 month old crosses that I'm keeping as pets. Lets see, I believe they were just off their regular 20% chick starter and on to an 18% grower.

    Are we Cornish Rocks? *UPDATE PG 13*

    Well that's different, your chicks would be 13 days old now, right? Look at my chicks on day 15. Check out this massive full crop. Your chick aren't nearly that developed, and it took my chicks 9 days to get from what yours look like now, to the pics above. Mine were 6 days old when...
