How many cornish have you raised???

WOW Neil... that would be 5369.863 chickens per day. I bet that they aren't the dual purpose ones eather ... I am impressed.

I got 25 Cornish X's...that was plenty for one person (ME) to take care of and keep clean. Didn't lose one. If you have help it would be a different story.

During 2009 I raised in batches of 50. However, this year I plan on starting with batches of 75 maturing each month May to September.
My variable costs tend to be around $5 on the high end. I use this number for all projections. No labor costs included.
Don't raise a batch of 100 unless you have a processing plan and customers! My basic processing setup with a cost of $1500 (includes plucker new!) with two good friends processes at a rate of 20-30 per hour. No plucker I process at 2-3 per hour myself. As exciting as it is, please be careful not to overwhelm yourself come processing day with 100 cornishX!

The chickens always turn out great.
