White Cornish: Building a Quality, Sustainable Flock for Meat and More.....

[GreatBreeder]

I've never seen a side by side comparison of White Cornish and Cornish Rocks. Perhaps you could try a batch and compare with White Cornish hatchmates, both slaughtered at the prime WC butcher time.

 

[GreatBreeder]

Anyone?

TGP , LF White Cornish are so hard to come by,and NORMALLY so expensive that most people that can find them don't wish to make hybrids with them. They want to work towards the most beautiful birds they can achieve. I always think "Royalty" when I see a LF white cornish.

As stated earlier, I don't understand why they are so hard to find. I like the dark cornish, but they just don't have the visual impact of the white birds

Didn't say anything about crossing, just a simple growth comparison.

And plucking benefits

My bad, dark pin feathers never have bothered me.

And hand plucking is a major pain!! I normally send 25 at a time to camp. Takes me better than half the day

Just referring to some people. Cornish Cross didn't have to be white.

I'd just skin

Ya gotta misdirect the DW. One of the things I decided right off the bat when I started thinking about a new pen system was that I was tired of MUDDY EGGS. The DW wants a new house.
To build the house,gotta raise the elevation... Lotta dirt for the house...little dirt for the pen... Some places I've already built the ground up over 3ft. I've already got one of the highest pieces of ground in town. And I'm not done!!!!
