Walt-- gorgeous bird-- looks rock solid.

I have a question about the heft of the legs, is this to support the heavier wieght??

Cornish should have big bones. It is part of the breed. Big bones and tight feathers.

CORNISH FOWLS OR ORIENTALS.
"The Cornish fowls were originated in Cornwall, England," as
early or prior to the year 1846. To produce the Cornish a Lord Derby
Black-Breasted Red Game was crossed with a Red Aseel, imported from
India. "Later on the blood of the Sumatra Game was introduced."
Their unique shape and close, short plumage are pronounced among
their peculiar characteristics. They are conceded, by expert authority,
to be the greatest of all table fowls, but their low egg production has
wrought materially against their universal popularity as a utility
fowl. In many sections of the world they are very popular among
those who breed only for fancy and an occasional rich treat at the
"Festal Board." There are three varities of the Cornish Fowls, viz.,
Dark, White and White-Laced Red. The Standard weights are: Dark
and White Cornish, Cock, 9 lbs., Hen, 7 lbs., Cockerel, 8 lbs., Pullet, 6
lbs.; White-Laced Red Cornish, Cock, 8 lbs., Hen, 6 lbd., Cockerel, 7
lbs., Pullet, 5 lbs.

"Vice President Romaine A. Young of Fillmore, California advises us that he considers himself very fortunate in being able to secure practically the entire original flock of White Laced Red Cornish formerly bred and owned by Mr. J. W. Williamson of Princeton, Indiana. Our readers will likely recall the damage which Mr. Williamson suffered on account of cyclone, after which he disposed of all his Cornish and discontinued breeding. Mr. Young is very enthusiastic when it comes to White Laced Reds, and (not readable) he is now several years ahead of when he would have been had he not secured this flock in which there are a number of choice birds which have won in some of the largest shows throughout the country. We congratulate Mr. Young and hope to see him bring out some good ones next season."
( At this time in America there were two main strains of White Laced Red Cornish. The Williamson strain and the original H. W. Card strain. Another reason this is significant is that it brought the entire original Williamson strain from the Midwest to the West Coast. ) Karen

Nice cornish walt

 

[thedragonlady]

These are the only large fowl pics of Cornish I have. lots of bantam pictures though. The tail should not be hanging down like the picture in the middle....not sure why it did that in this picture. Teh shape of his body is very good.

Walt

Is the bottom bird the same one as in the top 2 photos ? Looks like a pullet from what I can see. She's the one I'd steal.

Al claims to have given up on breeding Cornish. He told me that he was going to keep a few hens but no more breeding. His loss of his best birds to those dogs just really knocked him flat.

Walt, are those your Cornish pictured above?
Thanks,
Karen

She is a pullet in the picture and the mother of the male in the two other pics.
