It's called bone. Needed to attach big muscles...Why do Cornish birds allways seem to have big round legs
His big comb is why he bombed out as a show prospect. His last weight was 14 pounds. His chicks do not carry his over sized peacomb.That rooster would fit nicely in my project program. It just needs to get rid of that wavy comb. But I am not familiar with adult cornish or even cornish at all. Have you weighed him?
That is one big rooster!!! That is good to know that the offspring does not carry the fan comb.. Nice looking white bird..His big comb is why he bombed out as a show prospect. His last weight was 14 pounds. His chicks do not carry his over sized peacomb.
yes, last year with my Dorking hen. She spent 2 days in the nest of her choosing before I put her in a nest of my choosing, (still in the same pen,) where she spent one day before moving back to her original nest. Then I moved her to a new pen, and gave her some wooden eggs to sit on, which she did. Two nights later, I started pulling the wooden eggs out, and she started growling at me, but got over it when she realized I was swapping eggs for chicks. A week later, I gave her another batch of chicks to go with the first, and she remained a devoted mother for a full 8 weeks. She is a keeper.Has any one really had an hen accept chicks after a week or less of brooding though?...
Never had a hen gladly accept and become mother to chicks within a week of setting....
Think you'll get all six inches of snow? We are only supposed to get less than one over here in the "hills" of WV.
