Hi there, sorry to be so ignorant... I'm not a breeder, just someone looking for information that's very hard to come by, as many of the posters have pointed out - the big companies like to keep their lucrative secrets.
All I want to know is: Are commercial broiler chickens just from Cornish and Rock - or are other strains mixed in? If other strains have been crossed with the Cornish Rock strains, how many generations back is that? And, if anyone knows what strains might be mixed in, that would be a lucky bonus!
Thank you!
