Im confused because tractor supply co said there white rocks and they were very Small in 6 weeks but they started to grow very Big in 8 weeks is taht what Cornish x do people been saying taht I have Cornish x instead of white rock and that’s them in 4 months which they are now
Tractor supply makes mix ups all the time. Yes, they are cornish x not white rock. Cornish x grow a lot bigger a lot faster. I'm not sure if you know or not, but cornish x are meat birds and do not live very long. Yours looks healthy now, looks like you are doing a good job on caring for him.
yeah but the thing is they were very samll in 6 weeks it was 8 weeks when the startd getting big not very big they were smaller than the my 8 week ducks with them but than 10 weeks came and they groww very big and now there 4 months the and thats when the pic was tooken 4 months which is now
Cornish X Aren't supposed to be big from the start. They are definitely Cornish X, and it was all a mix up. It is hard to tell a Cornish X from another chick as a baby, you only notice the difference as they get bigger. Hope that helps!
Now what do i do );
Well, you can treat them like meat birds, that is what cornish cross are, or, you could try and restrict there food and have them live a normal chicken life. That will take ALOT of time and effort though. You can look at the thread I linked in thins post or you can start your own thread, about how to care for Cornish X
I see two choices. The first being harvest and eat at 8 weeks. The other is pour a lot of time in them and expect them to die at 6-12 months. You can delay the death with limiting the feed. How much depends on their genetics.
