First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

[daskhan]

When I played the video of the young ones coming out all my chickens went.. Bhaaaa it was funny like they thought they heard their chickies but actually run from the ones that are theirs lol

There's so many lol

I know it is going to be so hard deciding which ones get to become a frog and toad parents..

I'm hoping I can get mine to that stage.

I was out with the chicks just a while ago and I made an interesting observation. At least to me.lol
I was watching the way the different breeds run. The Cx with their exaggerated waddle are hilarious. My white plymouth rocks,run in the same waddling fashion.It's not as pronounced by any means but it is definitely noticeable

 

[JRNash]

The Dark Cornish just sprint! The white giants stretch out like quarter horses

I assume it has to do with hip size and style(structure)

 

[duluthralphie]

I think some birds are more coordinated than others and some are just more nerd like.

 

[daskhan]

Maybe but if all are doing it I would think it wouldn't be cordination or nerdiness because those are personality traits not breed traits and if all of them are doing it it's kinda breed trait right?

I am not sure, but I have decided to test it by having a track and field day here.

The creamettes are the odds on favorites for the 400m, I think the CX team will win the javelin and shot put.

I think the BA's will take the woman's volleyball series...

I also vote for the Creamettes for the high jump. (That's been my experience...)
