Hey guys!
I know I've seen a few of you out there who own pet Cornish X. Most of the time by accident, but you have made it work.
I purposefully bought 15 Cornish X, am culling 13, and keeping 2 as pets. They're between 3-4 weeks old today, and I have separated them, and am restricting feed. I fed the whole flock 18% protein chick starter for the first 3 weeks, so then I could sex them.
The rest of the information on my journey with Doodle and Smudge is in this thread- https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/experimenting-with-a-few-meat-birds-as-pets.1449592/
Tell me about your pets! Were they an accident? How do you keep them thin? Do you have any special strategies or tips?
Share pictures, stories can questions. I can't wait to meet your rescued hens!
