Bert Jr. ( a Toad)

 

[JRNash]

That's a fine looking bird

Mr. Toad definitely has the looks of Bert.

How big is that blue barrel?

How big is that blue barrel?

That is a 30 gallon barrel sitting on a 2x4 base. But, yeppers he is a BIG boy,

Can someone remind me of where I can find the grown chart/table (weight at 1 wk, 2 wks, 3 wks, etc.) for Cornish CXs? I know I've seen it, but I can't figure out where. (I have a few huge-to-me Naked Neck chicks and want to know where they fall on that curve - just curious...)

Jessica - I'll be building the tractor like yours very soon (finishing the new coop first). I hope it goes fast, these chicks are growing and growing and growing...

It seems my local guy didn't hatch my batch of cx meaties, so I need to order from a hatchery. I was thinking of going with Ideal.. I'm high altitude like mountain mom.

Where did everyone get their hatchery cx meaties this year and what were your results?

 

[daskhan]

My neighbor wants me to get meaties and raise them for him are cx or Cornish giants the best ? Or quickest?

 

[Double Kindness]

Usually they are listed as cornish cross or broilers.
