Shew! Close one. No meat birds wanted here-yet!@RobinS1217 They're sometimes called broilers or CornishX/Cornish cross. They're 'meat' birds rather than 'egg' birds.
They go from the size chick in the picture, to the size birds you buy at the grocery store in the meat aisle in about six weeks.
So they' re bigger WAY faster even as cute little peeps. Normal egg laying varieties take months to mature.
No worries for you though, you got the egg kind!
