This is my first batch of CX's. I originally bought 15. One was DOA and they gave me a credit. The next morning one more died and by the end of the day 2 more died. After the first 48 hrs I have had no problem. I chalked the deaths to the length of travel. They were hatched on a Tuesday and I did not receive them till Friday due to being out in the middle of BFE.

I have raised mine in accordance to the sticky note at the top of the page in the Meat Birds section of this blog and am excited about harvesting them next week. I anticipate that they will be between 6 and 7 pounds live weight.

After the holidays I plan on doing about 100 CX's a month from here on out. I'll be buying my CX's from a hatchery closer to me but plan on buying their Fry Pan Special of 100 cockerals for $.27 apiece and have some DP meat. Good project for my 3 boys.

If you are going to let the Cornish Cross grow for several extra months, take your roasting pan out every couple of days and hold it up next to the chickens. Be sure to butcher before they won't fit into the pan any more.
