51 LF Cornish Eggs in the Incubator

Where did you purchase your dark Cornish??? I'm finding they are hard to locate from a breeder.

I joined a couple Cornish groups on Facebook and talked to someone who showed his birds. My darks are out of a trio I bought from him. I got my Whites from eggs from people in the same groups.

This is what the dark downed chicks look like now. Definitely 100% cornish

I am getting back into chickens after a long break. I'm retiring at the end of this year after working 23 years in Animal Control. Can you update what your birds look like now? I'm interested to see how the combs turned out.

I’ll get back to you on that. We’ve been dealing with wicked cold that we haven’t seen the likes of in a long time so it will be hard to get good photos.

I hope you are feeling better. My husband has been sick coughing since September of last year! His cold developed into something like c.o.p.d. a disease his mother had from smoking. He cannot get ahead of it. I hope you are better. I ordered Dark Cornish chicks from Murray McMurray. I'm not sure I'm going to be happy with them. Please keep me in mind for some hatching eggs.

I just set 51 LF Cornish eggs in my incubator! 37 eggs from my LF Dark and Jubilee (white/dark cross) Cornish, and 14 shipped LF White Cornish eggs I bought. So excited to get back into hatching my own meat birds. First time hatching chickens in 4 years I think. I’ve done 2-3 batches of guineas 3 years ago but that’s it.

Edit: my goal here is to move to only having LF White Cornish. As much as I love how beautiful my Darks are, the whites/jubilee give a much cleaner looking carcass. Also I want to simplify my breeding plans by going to one color. Dealing with 5 boys 9 and under is hard enough.

Hi! I would love to start some DC LF. Are you breeding and selling dark eggs this year? Seems like they are dark x jubilee only?
