First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

[Dave C]

These are mine at 4 weeks now, bred them myself from 2 types of French Sasso meat hybrids I kept back last year, they are the Free range type.

The Whites are Sasso x Cuckoo Marans
















A Sasso x Marans Pullet


Not a good pic, but a nice shape for a Marans cross


I will be keeping the Pullets back again for breeding and there excellent layers all year round.
And the fittest cockerel as a back up to last years big fella.

Does anyone keep track of how much money they spend a year on this stuff?

Yes I have, but chick and chicken sales were always a decent amount higher. BUT I did not draw a salary!!
