did any of you breed your cornish with something to make there legs stronger
not for any reason but I mixed my DC bantam with a blue orpington roo,,,their son has VERY long legs, but looks very gamey still.

I would love to hear others comments as well. from other pictures I have to agree with you on color of the WLR, however as far as body type, what does anyone think?
And on the Standard size, are the feathers just as tight to the body as the bantams are? they seemed fluffier thus my...

Better bantams. Your's? The crooked toes seem to be an all too commmon fault with Cornish.
yes, these are my darks, Is the roo TOO big to fit bantam?
my dark pair. he weighs in at 3 lbs-14 oz, she 2lbs-4 oz.
she fits into bantam, def NOT standard birds. he is molting. a few of them have the crooked toes, is this because they are so heavy or possibly an injury?

WOW, i was WAY off, my large Roo only weighs (on human scale in my arms) 4 lbs.
off to take more pictures. so I probably have bantams huh.
No, bantams only max out a 2-3 lb.. and your birds don't look bantam... My bantam Cornish are tiny little chunky things...
I'd say you have...

My mother is going to bring over her kitchen scale to get a more accurate weight on these guys. he was between 3.6-4.0 depending on who held him...I was told when I got them that they were standard size, I wasn't really worried about it then because at that time I was only looking to...

Here is a picture I had taken a few months ago of same Roo "Egor" and his Daughter "jessie" she is rather small still at 8 mnths old, what should I be looking for? I will get out to the chicken yard today and get some picutes and try to grab some weights.

I got them from local lady whom I believe picked them up at a show here in NY. I originally got them just for meat, but now my daughter is 4H age and we want to get into showing locally, so I am researching the snot out of them (and the other breeds I have.) I was told that I just...

those are not very "cornish-y" looking... What color would you call the hen? A dirty, corn stained white?
I was thinking that some of the pictures posted of the darks were not very cornishy, with looser feathers and fluffier heads. the lighter one is a RLW. I have not weighed them...

Here are two that I have pictures of currently. Egor and Precious. He's molting and looks a bit naked right now. I have 12 of their eggs under another hen right now. I plan on selling eggs and chicks mid-winter/ spring time. I have another WLR pullet, a pair of dark cornish, and a couple of...
yay, Hi, I just found this thread. I have some dark and some light cornish. I have a question about them. i was told they only come in standard. Mine are small but heavy birds,,, are there LARGER ones that are known as standard? or are they confused for Banatam for their size? Can anyone...
