We are hoping to place an order for chicks soon and I need some advice. We are at a fairly high altitude (7300+) and so can't do the regular cornish crosses. Last year we raised the slow cornish from Priviett and liked them fine. This year, however, we'd like to try something else. Privett tells me that their red and black broilers will do well at our altitude and grow a little faster than the slow cornish (8 weeks instead of 10). The Freedom Ranger people tell me the same thing. So...which should I get? Has anyone ever raised these breeds and so can do a comparison for me? How about either of them compared to the slow cornish? I am especially interested in comparing breast/overall size, and flavor. Any other comments would be appreciated too. We are hoping to sell some of these birds at our local farmers market.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to your replies.
