I have done it! I raised cornish crosses and freedom rangers that were sold for eating but brought them up to laying and breeding. I had people tell me there eggs would never be healthy, strong or fertile enough to hatch but i have a half dozen chicks out of about a dozen eggs. They are happy healthy little pigglets just like their hatchery bred parents.

u breed ur cornish crosses?? the ones i got from the local farmer (foster farms) for FFA never lived past 5 months old. they got to big and fat to breed, they could barley walk. they were good eating tho. i kept to to breed but they died at 5 months.
