cornish

[BirchHatchery]

i have a flock of now year old Cornish rocks my question is. If i would get a batch of cornish rocks restrict feed let them range and raise them to 4 months old at 4 months old the meat should taste stronger for bein alive longer and be leaner for not leting them eat constatly what do yall think?

The meat is going to be a little bit more flavorful and have more of a "bite" than say an 8 week old. However they should still be extremely tender and fit for just about any cooking method. I'd say eat up.

Ya, they are all the same. Just different names for different weight classes. I wouldn't buy any cornish birds form McMurray as they are too expensive. Central is probably the cheapest in the retail business that I have seen.
