Cornish Thread

[CanadianBuckeye]

My 7 newest. She was free ranging with 1 RIR roo and 3 dark Cornish. Half of the chicks do not have the stripes. But they will either lay or make a good dinner anyway.

Awwww! so cute. the RIR/cornish cross will make very pretty chickens, too. It would be very interesting to see more pictures of them as they grow.

Not sure if it's a pure dark cornish or a cross

I'm thinking it may be Jersey Giant and dark Cornish

Looks like a large chick, it will be interesting to see how he grows up.

Hatched two Cornish mixes yesterday. One from my McMurray hen and one from my breeder stock hen. Both Dark variety. MMH chick came out black with a bit of white and breeder chick is full on black and white tuxedo. Very strange looking. Makes me wonder who daddy of each is... I'll post pics when I get home.

Could be a pure. Let it dry some more. I'm not to sure what a fresh Jersey Giant looks like. Either way a live chick is a good chick. Egg or dinner either way all new chickens are cute when born and on a plate.

Im a little behind you guys in hatching any, think one of my roosters is shooting blanks so swapped him out with another one, we shall see

There are quite a few issues that can cause infertility. Anytime you change feed or your Cock bird eats less feed for any reason it can cause lowered fertility.

My guess is that both chicks will be black- very cute!
