They quit laying after 2 or three years!??!? I've never heard that before.

This won't change my mine if true, I just doubt it.

Thin? They’re not overly thin. Why do you like plump birds? They just eat a ton.

Because they are adorable...... I like thin birds too..... but cochins and brahmas are just so darn cute.

BR seem to have a lot of problems. They are all boring and ugly IMO but they remind me of Cornish X.

I hate cornish rocks they eat more then the final weight of them and they stink so bad lol would never get those again either

My understand is Cornish cross are usually a mix or cornish and rocks. The cornish for the wide chest bones and rocks for fast growing. Not sure if this is accurate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Those are plump with feathers, though, not meat. When I hold my friends' BR, She's waaay heavier than their cochins.
