[Bossroo]

Invite that Leghorn to a hot tub party then a pot pie. He ain't good for anything else.

Just watching and reading

One thing is for sure The standard White Cornish is probably the hardest bird to find that I have ever owned.

But alas...you do own them!

I thought I had them in my grasp...but they have eluded me on more than one occasion. And now, I just candled my only 3 WLR Cornish eggs in the incubator and all 3 have stopped developing.

This project is breaking my heart already.

Hey Al...wanna share some of those glorious white Cornish?

LOL I wish I could hand out a whole passel to my meat bird friends, but as you know getting my own numbers on the ground is one serious chore and a disappointing one at that. But I ain't giving up so hang in there guy's you might get lucky.

I'm not giving up either, Al!

I didn't go into this project expecting it to be easy. This is but a bump in the road...and I've got 4 wheel drive!!!

I feel the same. I've been looking for wlr hatching eggs all year. I'm having the same issue with my Beltsville White turkeys. Finally found a source with genetics close to the original and only ended up with two poults from more than 18 eggs. The breeders birds are done now so I'll have to wait till next year to start again.
