Quote: I think that was the best description of a Cornish X I have ever heard.

Sandra cmon over. We'd love to add another chicken person to our tribe of crazies. Basically since July we have been getting together for some small and some larger processing parties, coop raisings, Chickenstocks (big BYC picnic), etc... we usually discuss things in this thread...

Quote: We have 50 Cornish coming tommorrow. Plus we have 45 rangers left (between 3 of us) and 50 fryers. The Rangers don't smell anything like a Cornish Cross. They don't grow as fast but they are so much cooler.

I have family in Saugerties and live 10 minutes from Southbury, just 2 towns over. Our chicken get together is an hour east of here. If you're up for a drive cmon over. If not we'll be having another Chickenstock in october in Oxford, 1 town south of Southbury. A few of us alway cull and...

Good for you!!! You're jumping right in feet first, or maybe head first. Where in NY are you. We are culling and processing a few on Sunday.

Quote: Just so I'm understanding this, you have never processed a chicken or you just haven't processed any of your Rangers? I'm a little slow sometimes.

Quote: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Good passage Andrew.

Quote: I have 97 left, all for me. And I'm heartless, mwahahaha. OK, that's easy to say, I've never processed yet. For the little delicacy type bird I've got 35 quail in a cage and a lot more eggs coming. I'm sticking to chickens for now (plus the scovies to work on the bug problem)...

Quote: I've had Cornish Game Hens and made a thread here a year ago asking what breed they were. I was sorta surprised to hear they were just young Cornish Crosses too. They are good. Truth is when it comes to the Rangers I'm just a whimp to cull them so young. Plus I only have 18 left of...

Not sure how to tell the protein of what I'm feeding them. What's the rush? LOL! There should be a tag on the bag. The higher the protein the faster they grow, at least that is what I read. There are so many different opinions out there. Oh, nono no, that's too big. I need a dressed...

We ordered 50 and lost 4 or 5 at different times for no apparent reason. That's a pretty good rate in my opinion. Me, Perfectly_Polish, & Moodusnewchick split the order and have raised them differently. Mine don't range. They were in a tractor on pine for 4 weeks and now have the whole barn...

Ahhh, the joys of baby Rangers... I'm not sure about the hay/straw thing. Mine have been on pine since day 1 and haven't had any problems. We lost a few which is typical. No impacted crops. Ours are SO fat and healthy at almost 8 weeks. A few are 5 pounds now, maybe more. I can't say...

When the hens are talking us roos need to just sit back and wait for pics.

They can go out now but only if it's a warm sunny day. Ours feathered in fast and now, at almost 8 weeks, could live outside.
