What was the Heavest CornishX you Raised?

I feed mine about 75% shelled corn and they are in very good shape plus they stay clean. The breeders of CornishX keep them on a very limited diet. In the breeder pens the hen and cocks have different feeders and are each fed a different diet.Go to Arbor Acres web site and they have all the stats there.

LoL!

Those are HUGE birds! Do you know why they didn't make it past 18 mo? I'm looking into keeping some of the pullets I have for crossing with my DP... and just want to learn how to keep them living.

BAHAHAHAHA . . .! You got me! lol! I was REALLY PO'd when I read that lol

I was at work and couldn't answer but I was thinking jeez another one! I'm not used to your new pic yet, took me a minute to figure out it was you, made me laugh all day thanks

peterlund - they were beautiful for a moment, that is them at their peak and it was down hill from there. lovely personalities as well though, and they contributed mightily to my breeding program. No secret, basicly free range only and a lot of exercise.
