Cornish as heritage?

Well, then, I guess we are just going to have to disagree one more time.

Jaku, while I believe you when you say you mean no insult or disrespect, here's copied/pasted quotes from Bossroo:

"there are some that do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result even thaugh(sic) the genetics for feed conversion rate is just not there. Akin to feeding a pony foal extra grain for 10 years and expecting to have it pull the Budwiser(sic) wagon at the Superbowl."

(Which isn't true. Those of us who raise heritage/DP's know perfectly well what we'll get. We are NOT expecting something different every time we do it. We are NOT expecting C.X growth rates.)

"Some don't seem to understand what is explained to them, or are fed erroneous or prejudised(sic) information, so one has to step back and patiently explain the facts again."

(Again, we DO understand, we just have a different preference.)

Both of these statements infer both ignorance and stupidity on the part of the people he's referring to. He also said Buster's meat birds that are bigger than C. X's are probably turkeys...as if Buster is too stupid to know what he has, or too dishonest to say they're turkeys. Either way, it's both insulting and disrespectful. You don't have to say outright, "you're stupid", or "you're ignorant", to get the point across. BTW, I have DP's that often get bigger than C. X's. Just not at 8 weeks. Mine are often over 6 lbs dressed weight, frequently over 7 lbs. And they ARE NOT turkeys, they're chickens, and I really can tell the difference.)

Your opinion is just as worthy of respect as anybody else's, and you often have some good ideas and info. It just seems that every time anybody states they prefer not to raise C. X's, (except in that ONE thread where it was made clear from the start that the thread was NOT to be used to debate about C. X's, but to discuss sustainable breeds) here come a bunch of arguments trying to convince them that they just have to, or they're wasting time, money, space, etc.

I apologize for lumping you in with Bossroo.

Anyway, I disagree that each and every subject needs to be debated to death. Posters often are asking for info, and sometimes they don't get it, because the subject instead turns into the same old debate you read over and over again. It gets tiring.

Maybe some people use a forum as an outlet to let off steam, and I guess venting on a forum is better than kicking the dog. Not saying that you do that, or any other specific person, that's just speculation.

Wow! I hit this thread because I'm considering venturing into meat birds eventually and am trying to learn as much as I can about them. Your guys' debate actually gave me a lot of good info. Plus it was entertaining...lol.

Me too....

 

[Bossroo]

So now I see that I am ignorant... and stupid... and insulting... and disrespectful... because I saw it in print here. I will now go and make penance.

Ummm...

Well, to be perfectly candid, they are.

I was trying to make a point. If all you care about is size, then why bother with chickens at all? My turks dwarf any X bird I have ever seen, and they taste much better.

Turkeys are meat birds, too. The best, as far as I'm concerned. When I want something that will pack on the pounds efficiently, I go with turkeys. We average two a month in our household.

Sorry. Didn't mean to mislead.

Buster, you didn't mislead most... known fact ..." Repetisium est mater studiorum." ....you see it takes six repetitions for someone to comprehend 66% of what they read.
