Pig Chickens? ;-)

[SkyWarrior]

I have 6 cornish crosses in my brood, and I have to say, I've never seen anything like them. They'll run in and eat until their crops are bulging when I feed my birds. They're big on eating and sleeping and eating, and eating and eating...

At one point, their feathers stick out all over because they stuff themselves. I call them "pig chickens." Is this normal? Thankfully, they're here only until the end of June.

Yup, it's definitely normal.

They need to have food in front of them most of the time at least at first.

My pigs have better manners than cornish cross.

Yours sound perfectly normal. They really are amazing to watch in a "Ripley's believe it or not," kind of way.

YUp sure is, eat, eat, poop, plop, sleep that's about all they do.

Thats what I am gonna start calling mine, and pretty much all they do is EAT and sleep then eat and drink and sleep and poo


I caught them so many times sleeping with their heads in the feed they dont wanna miss out on anything I guess lol
