Good grief, I don't even know what that is? Wouldn't buy from them ever again.

I had to look it up, apparently its some sort of meat bird hybrid, like a Cornish x, but instead of rock its apparently a RIR x Cornish. I wonder if they bulk up as fast as a traditional Cornish X.

Yeah. I'm not very impressed to say the least. They are larger than my other breeds. I guess I am butchering more than planned.

They look like production reds to me.

Those first pics look exactly like my two which are supposed to be new hampshire reds, but now I'm second guessing... Buying from feed stores seems to always be a crap chute.

Nerfworthy do your new Hampshire have the grey through their wing feathers? The Hatcher has new Hampshire's but not production reds. Though they did say they are the sagittas.

Yes, their wings look exactly like the ones in your pics. With the dark grey/white stripes on top of the red, and their baby fuzz is yellow.

I really hope the hatchery is wrong and they are new Hampshires.
