Breed Science-- making a new breed.

[Mutchi]

My muscular, brave rooster is now in the freezer. He saw me as competition for the hens. I was sorry to see him go, but being attacked every day was not an option. Now my hens follow me like without being harassed.

He must have been pretty! Do you have any pics?

He was a Rock Island. I don't have any pics. My hens are Asian Blacks. They came from the same batch of chicks labeled AB's.... LOL

@Sea Wolf by the way Jersey Giants aren’t that rare…… I found mine in a basic feed store, and I see them all over the place. Just so you know. And yeah they would probably be great for your project Mutchi!

Okay. Well I’ve seen them in most Hatcherys.

No one here buys them from a factory already partially raised. They're all bought as day olds or at most week olds if a farm store doesn't sell out right away

Well back here people don’t buy frozen ones from markets they just go to the butchers and usually have them slaughtered and cleaned by the butcher himself, but some just buy them alive and don’t order a slaughter. These ones at the butcher are bought from the factories by the butcher himself. And usually such specimens are extremely well raised and obese, thus they rarely survive after being placed in a farm or pen. But the chicks on the other hand grow up to have a more similar appearance to a normal farm rooster except they get huge and wild after 2 years. This is a subadult local Cornish, by 2023 or end of 2022 I’ll upload more pics since I’ve noticed no one has done that before only images of fat factory Cornish.

But OP doesn't live anywhere near you. That's what I'm trying to say. They do not have the same birds that you have available, and the breeds that are the same are likely very different appearances.

If they are the same kind, just raised in a factory or on a farm, then the difference is probably in how they are fed and maybe how much exercise they get.

The Cornish Cross in the USA, that get so fat they die young, can be raised longer if people limit how much food they are allowed to eat. But people often have trouble limiting them enough, because they have really huge appetites!
