Orpington meat bird cross

[chickenshiha]

So people been saying that its very hard to breed Cornish cross (meat birds). I wanted to see for my self and I crossed and Orpington rooster with a Cornish cross hen and the offsprings were very great. They turned out being bigger than an Orpington and very heavy and lay good large eggs. I wanna try doing a meat bird Brahma cross and hope for giant birds with feathered feet for the winter but winter is almost over and it would be bad for them in hot days. Heres pictures of the Orpington meat bird cross

Feathered feet can be very problematic in places with cold winters, just so you know. Ice and snow balls can accumulate in the feathers
