What do you need? Info? Pictures?


Also Cornish X's aren't really a breed. . . But you can always mention the true "Indian Game" Cornishes.

Just some tips on how to tell the breeds apart

Quote:
leghorn smaller and thinner breed- has a large single comb and yellow shanks

Sussex- larger breed single comb with white shanks

wyandotte- larger breed, yellow shanks, and rose comb

plymouth rock- larger breed, yellow shanks and single comb

cornish cross- meat chicken- white- short but very large- large bones in shanks- much heavier than other birds
