Granny's gone and done it again

I'm considering buying another 25 Cornish Rock Pullets to cross with a very prime Dark Cornish Rooster That I hatched out here. Thanks for sharing the photos. I'd be in hopes of at least one of the offspring turning out to be a white male.
Okay, I just received my 20 straight run Murray McMurray Dark Cornish. I also ordered 5 Whiting True Blue Pullets. If any one cares about the M McM blue egg layers follow along and I'll let you know when the first one lays. I'll get a weight on the DC's once they have a chance to eat and drink. They were very dehydrated and hungry. I have daily weights on my CX meaty chicks with weights on the daily intake of feed provided. My best CX chick is 40 grams heavier than anyone else. Her 1 week weight is 168g the next heaviest is a roo at 148g. I had to cull one of the CX chicks for breathing issues. I suspect Aspergillus, as the conditions where I picked them up were not the cleanest by far. Benchmark CX weights at 1 week are 120g, 14 day weights should be around 260g. If my top two keep going at their present Ave Daily Gain (ADG) She will be 373g and he will be 351g. I have 14 which will not meet benchmark if they continue at their same Rate of Gain.

Nice! In the DC, why are some not chipmunk striped? Does this indicate gender?
There are 5 Whiting's True Blue. 1 White, 4 Black. The True Blue are guaranteed to produce Blue eggs. They have no standard color. There are 20 DC, one is very light.
