At what age would 25 CC become noticeable?

With a smaller area have a good plan for fly control. 25 CX will make poop from day one. I raised 50 CX in a 8x12 hoop tractor moved daily in weeks 4-6 then twice daily became a necessity. I had the advantage to let them out daily to “free range”, meaning they ventured 10 feet from the tractor. I butured at 7.5 weeks for ave 4.5-6 lb dressed wt.
I am going with White Rangers this year- a 12 wk adventure for various reasons, but mainly I found the CX for me was +++ work for just ok flavor.
They were tender, but my fam prefers a better balance of dark to white meat. Hoping White Rangers will be the way to go this year.
Good luck with your neighbors. Consider floating them a free processsed bird or two to ease tensions, should that be an issue.

I have a 1/2acre residential that I would really like to have the experience of raising Cornish X. I ordered 25 due to the minimum (still have time to cancel). Not looking to hear about zoning or ordinances. My neighbors have never been outside the last 7yrs we lived here but they just built a pool.we live in SoCal & plan to complete the whole process before summer. A 5ft Fence is what separates us. To utilize, I have a garage 10x16, a 9x9 shed, & 10x8 Run, & a 15ft trampoline I’m considering turning into a tractor.

The goal is to accomplish this without pissing off my neighbors. Can you please tell me by weeks, what age would be a non-issue & what weeks they become loud, poop machines? Would it be smart to process them young at 5 weeks or even six at a time per week to experience quality of different texture & taste?

I raise my Cornish cross on a similar size lot and have no issues with noise or smells. They are super quiet. They only care about food.

You can definitely use your shed to get them to 3 weeks old and then put them outside. I do 2 batches a year; one in May and one in August. Both outside with day old chicks inside a TSC brooder with heat plates.
