Hi guys,
I bought some cornish eggs on a whim (we eat all our excess roos and I was interested in trying a "real" meat bird). They hatched out in the beginning of May so they're about 6-7 weeks old. I have two that are just not feathering out well compared to the others. Is this a normal variant for cornish? I know they can be bald on the breasts (and I'm okay with that, I have a whole herd of naked necks) but are they supposed to be this bald?







I know they're probably from crappy stock, and that's okay with me. I don't plan to breed or show them, although I might keep a few on hand for a meat bird project if I have the room in the fall.

I'm really just interested in knowing if this is "normal" or not.

Thanks.

I have 10 cornish chicks for 4-h and all of them are supposed to be roosters..but the bottom cornish looks like a hen to me because besides her all the others have bigger combs and are getting red but the bottom cornish isn't so what do you guys think??

i think that those are not cornish... but cornish/ rock cross CX butcher birds. please do not confuse them with real time cornish
