Here are some side by side photos for comparison.

Once they fluffed up, the Cornish X New Hampshire's have a dark head and small dark, nearly black spots on there head and body. Hatched out 25 total this round, 12 LF White Cornish and 13 crosses. Two more batched left in the incubator (4-2 & 4-6 hatch dates) before the next big group of eggs...

My 2017 Hatch is underway. About half are LF White Cornish and the others are Cornish X New Hampshire. I'm excited to see how the crosses do as compared to the pure Cornish. Need to hatch them out to make way for the next round of 26 Cornish and 22 crosses, and probable a few more by the time...

LF White Cornish Hens

LF White Cornish Cocks with Hens

Here are my 3 Cock LF White Cornish.

Last year I have a jubilee Orpington hen that spent some time with the Cornish that came out white with a few black speckles. And the year beforehand Wyandotte x Buff Orpington and about 5% came out white. strange but you never know what's your going to hatch when crossing breeds Mike

I agree at least under the APA Standard many breeds use be dubbed for showing. I suppose next It will be illegal in Australia to remove the spurs on the cocks. I have never caponized cockerel. Does anyone have any pointers? I have only watched YouTube videos on doing it. I just don't want to...

Somewhere I came across a article about the Cornish having fertility issues in cold climates. I'm in Nebraska and gets very cold in the winter. Has anyone else heard about this or experienced issues?

I have a 60/40 split on the eggs from the New Hampshire x Cornish and pure Cornish. 60 being the cross as the New Hampshire lay better. The Cornish seem to lay very early or very late as the eggs were always cold. Due to that in not extending a high hatch ratio, but the incubator is full. 70ish...

I have 6 LF White Cornish or Indian Game hens and 3 cocks. At ideal conditions that's about what they have layed. Its hard to tell for sure as some of the New Hampshire eggs are small and light brown as well. I have never completely separated them to know for sure. I feed them a high protein...

I put Cornish cock over New Hampshire hens. I'm not planning on saving and of the crossed chicks, there all for meat. My Cornish might lay three to four eggs per week, but the New Hampshire's lay closer to six per week. Weather changes, even cleaning out coop seems to put too much stress on...

I separated my breeding pen into Large Fowl White Cornish cocks with my New Hampshire hens. I also left all my Cornish hens in the pen as I'm still trying to build a sizable flock. It was nearly impossible to find the whites, and it wasn't till I picked them up and seen them with my own two...

I have used turkey starter years ago in 4-H on a 3-pen broiler project. Although the judge wanted to give me grand champion, I was disqualified on a technicality. Apparently my birds were over the max total weight. I had additional light at night for a few hours and the higher protein from...

I accidentally crossed my LF white Cornish with an Orpington and raised 2 cockerel's. They ended up being 9lbs live weight at butchering, big thick thighs, legs etc but a little tougher than they should have been due to age. I think they were about 6 months old. So I'm looking forward to the...

Sounds interesting i would love to see photos as they grow. I'm waiting till February on mine to hatch some LF white Cornish cock on some New Hampshire hens. Should be the premier meat chicken of the 1940's and 50's. I held back 3 Cornish cocks and about 12-15 Cornish hens along with the New...

I'm also working with some New Hampshire which are supposed to be a old meat type. So far so good, rapid feathering and growth. I have started keeping growth records on several of them to see how fast they grow and more importantly which ones to keep as breeders next year. No intentions on...

I have located and purchases a trio of LF white Cornish. Not much for layers and look like bantams compared to my Orpingtons, but the cockerel is just under 9 lbs. I get about 6 eggs per week. I'm only experimenting by adding a hen or two to the pen as I want to hatch out as many Cornish as...

Do you have any of those dual purpose mutt chickens around anymore? It sounds like it would be interesting to continue working with them. Not to compete with the Cornish x rocks but as the multi purpose meat, egglayer that they are. My opinion is they make a better baking cooking chicken and...

I think the goal is not to make a "commercial meat bird" but rather a tasteful larger bird that can be kept arround the barnyars as a layer or butchered for the meat. Take a white cornish, white rock, buff orpington, buckeye, new Hampshire, possible a jersey giant cross and a few more and you...
