Heavy Cornish Cross

Has anyone ordered these birds from Myers Poultry Farm? And how did they dress as far as yield?

 

[mstricer]

I don't understand the question. Which Meyers in Ohio or Penn?

Go with the one in Ohio.... the one in Penn is just a middle person who brokers them.

I have raised birds from meyer hatchery in OH and did not like their cornish product. They took a lot longer to finish out then what i expected. I'm going to try some from Myers Poultry in PA, I had a few people tell me that these are exellent birds and have had great luck with them.

hmm. . . seems like you answered your own question. I would seriously consider what Brunty has to say, I think he probably raises more CX than all of us put together; I have found his well experienced input quite valuable.

Well, last I checked Myers gets their birds from Meyers.... Same Birds all around.


Me personally I would go with this hatchery.... http://www.schlechthatchery.com/

McMuarry hatchery. I raised 25 and they took 5 weeks to fill out to 5-8 pound birds.

 

[Brunty_Farms]

Commercial growers don't even get 5-8 pound birds in 5 weeks.
