I am not sure if this is at all possible but I am sure that the experts on BYC can answer my question. I would like to grow very big cornish crosses. I want to achieve 33 pounds! if that is at all possible. Has anyone tried this before. I know about all the side-effects associated with my task such as the big birds going down on their legs, heart attacks and etc. However I am confident that I can achieve a very big bird. I want to start my own domain www.BIGBIRDIES.com to show everyone that I am serious.

I just culled one of my Cornish X and it was 24,5 lbs after bleeding out. He was walking and eating- crowing and dancing for the ladies. I culled because his breathing had become labored and he was stumbling more and more!! Plus he was being mean to his bunk mate- my other Cornish. He was beautiful and acted - pretty much- like a normal chicken.

I wonder if johnscalido is still working on this. I might pick up a few CornishX again this spring. I would like to do some cross breeding as well.
