We processed our last Cornish X rooster today, and did an EE roo that started crowing (Both almost 14 weeks old). I wonder if the EE will taste different than the Cornish X.



The size difference is crazy. EE was about 2.5 pounds after -- CC was over 9

This is insane! I am very impressed by the difference! WOW.

Yes they do taste differently. The dual purpose birds are tougher, but have lots of taste. You need to slow cook them or they aren't worth eating (in my opinion anyway). Slow cook for even half a day is all it needs.

Hey all! I am super grateful for all the wisdom I have gained from reading this thread!!! So a big THANK YOU!!!! to all contributors.

Yesterday we butchered our old lady flock of 6 We had a few ups and downs and have some improvements to make to our process. But overall it was very successful thanks to lots of reading, preparing and video watching. I found that I am really great at hand plucking (after we figured out that we didn't have any place suitable to attach our drill plucker that we made). The feathers came out easily by the handfuls!

Anyway the old ladies were our practice run. We have 20 CX that are 7weeks now. One change I want to make to our process is to use a killing cone(or 2) instead of using the slip knotted string around the ankles. I have found some orange traffic cones here locally at the Home Depot. They have 3 sizes and I am wondering what is your 2cents..........WHAT SIZE TO YOU LIKE TO USE???? They have 12in, 18in, and 28in. I'm pretty sure the 12inch are TOO SMALL. So 18in or 28in???

We think the biggest roos will be ready for the freezer by next Monday. I think we will end up doing 6-8 of the biggest.......then go from there. So far they all are looking good. But if any of them start going down then at least I have a handle on how to get the job done!
