How long to feed before they are processd?

[Klwright1122]

I hav a dark Cornish rooster that I would like to breed with some barred rocks. When is the right age to process
the babies? I know with Cornish x it is only like 8 weeks, but I don't believe these will get as big so soon, will they?

16-18 weeks and they will still be smaller then a 8 week old cornishX bred meat bird.
