Cornish rocks are laying!

[mrs chicken little]

They are cornish x,s. They are crossed with white rocks. From the pics I have seen the cornish look pretty similar to the white rocks.
They are about 4 1/2 months old and before I began limiting their feed they grew very rapidly.
I introduced a Partridge Rock rooster last night that a friend gave me. He is about the same age and just beginning to crow. Very pretty. I am not planning to raise any chicks just like having a rooster. I think he likes the girls he has been crowing all afternoon!

Maybe he will keep them slim and trim!

I will also be checking with my feed dealer about the triple duty. Thanks chicknhawaii

It's encouraging to me to know some folks are getting Cornish Xs to live a bit longer. Since I found out about the lifespan thing, I'm trying to keep Bianca exercised, and hope she'll last two years or so. I figure she'll get to free range the enclosed part of the back yard, periodically.

I think another name for the Triple-Duty is Dual Purpose...there's supposed to be adequate calcium already in there too.
