Two to three more weeks for cornish x...

And then they'll be butchered. They're five weeks old now and doing very well. They get a locally milled broiler mash (21% protein) and free-range during the day. Should I do anything special to finish them? Like how you corn finish hogs or cattle...?

Nope just keep feeding them.

Thank you! I'll keep doing what I've been doing then.

Aren't they ugly? My Cornish X are just 4 weeks old and so ugly.

I actually absolutely love mine. I wish they had been the ugly, mean, stupid blobby birds that everyone said that they were. Instead, mine are cooshy, brilliant white, incredibly friendly and actually somewhat cuddly. I love my cornish x!
