I have three cornish cross hens and one cornish cross male I plan to hopefully breed to brahma chickens. Unfortunately my brahma rooster recently died, so I'll have to wait for his chicks to hatch. The first two "blue" cornish x are 20 weeks old, the one with red leakage is male, all other birds pictured are females. The barred and white cornish are 9-10 months old, as of posting. They're 100% cornish x, all birds are from Tyson lines but I won't state my location for the chances of being in legal trouble. Anyone have any ideas, questions, concerns, ect? Or examples of other "cornish x" breeding projects?
 
Just know the male may have a hard time mounting naturally
I figured he would, although right now there has been no attempts. He's only a few lbs, and much smaller than the 9 month old ladies. Can still be held with one hand and jump over 4ft. Both of the younger ones can, but the barred girl is too heavy. Part of the reason I wanted to cross them to brahmas

I have White Bresse hens and may cross with Cornish X. I like the taste of Bresse and growth rate of Cornish X so will see how that go in the future project.
