I found the cornish X today and decided on trying my luck with them,I been undecided about what to get but finally decided to try the cornish,gonna start with 8 chicks and see how it works out for me,I have read everything I can find about this type and their are so may different thoughts I decided to see if it was my thing or not,their under the brooder lite at this time,I probably will lose one or two before processing time,but I will know if this is the bird for me,I didn,t want to get into something i would regret,I enjoy my chickens but don,t want to be a slave to them,so I decided that eight would be a good beginning,if i like the results i will get more,I am interested in meat more than show or eggs,
