You have white Rocks, too, AL? You like those white chickens, huh?

A while back someone was posting looking for white Rocks. I assume they must be rather difficult to locate, or it seemed to be the case at the time of the posting.

So, what else you got there, AL? Got more pictures to share with us?

LOL yeah IMO there is only one color and it is white LOl hehehehe. I have been raising White Rocks, Standard Cornish, for many years and have just in the last couple of years got into Dark & WLR Cornish. I also have a very ambitous meat bird project that involves these breeds, I am making very good progress with great results and hope to make a totally new breed of truely Sustainable meat birds, that will continue to produce consistancy year after year. Lofty as it may seem I have plenty of time to work with.

So if you want a few pic's and don't mind the white I would be happy to see what I have.

A Dark Cornish Pullet almost at POL

One of my White Cornish pen's, they are young and still coming along, I cockrel & 3 Pullets.

Here is a good look at one of last years meat bird project Hen's, she is of my own crossing and development, she goes about 13lbs and is already laying well.

Love the width of leg on the bird in the last pic.

Walt : That is an F3 hen and she should throw all alike birds this year, I hope. I have them on a strict managed diet to ensure I can keep them at a more healthy level for continued success.

Al,
What a great looking setup you've got!

You can see because of her width of leg she can carry a lot of meat. Thats one big girl it reminds me of breeding dairy cattle a bit. You look at "dairy character" and width and that will tell you how much milk the cow can make. This bird certainly has "meat character"

She is at 13 lbs now as is her siblings, the roosters are bigger and lankier, I bred the wide stance for balance, she waddles a bit, but is vigorous and lively. I don't have roost in their pen for abvious reasons LOL, she's no jumper.
