Cornish Cross skin color

[cromschickens]

I am new to meat birds, and have 10 cornish crosses that are 4 weeks old and have good feather coverage. The question I have is about skin color, as mine are a deep red. Just wondering if this is normal or should be cause for concern. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. THANKS

Deep red sounds like some sort of irritation. They usually are kinda pink to dark pink looking.

you could describe this as a very dark pink. Thanks for the information, I should get a picture up. Thanks again.

yeah, a picture would help.

They look pretty dark compared to how they do on the store shelves. As long as they are healthy I'm sure they are fine. Remember they are still full of blood.
