So has anyone tried crossing a broiler chicken like the Cobb 500 with heritage breeds to create a new fast growing meat chicken which addresses potential flaws associated with the Cobb 500 itself?
I have some Cobb 500 broilers which were rescued from a crate falling off a truck transporting them (most likely on their way to slaughter house). I also have Brahma, Araucana, Ayam Sumatra, Australorps and Orpingtons.
I want to cross a Cobb 500 with an Australorp rooster and also cross a Cobb 500 with a Brahma rooster. Then I want to breed the offspring together.
I am hoping to create a large breasted bird that grows quick and has strong bony frame (like the Brahma) with long legs.
Anyone have any comments or recommendations?
