Meat vs Layer

[~Wind~]

So just incase anyone is interested. This is a picture of two of our birds. Both are 4 weeks old. One is a CornishX the other is a White Leghorn.
The CornishX is 2lbs 3oz and the White leghorn is 10oz.

Thought I'd share my observation...I like to keep record of feed consumption and discovered quite a difference between my Cornish Xs and my All Heavies assortment from Murray McMurray (included some dual-purpose breeds such as Rhode Islands and Orphingtons among others). Not even close. At 5.5 weeks of age the Xs had consumed 10# while the Heavies had 3#.

This is a great photo. I'm sure I'll be sharing this post with others in the future.
