Point well taken, Sorry for the misspeak.
I think it will be interesting to see what pops out. I wonder at what age will one be able to tell if they are meaties or not. I think the biggest set back we have had is today one of our girls has developed Bumblefoot. She is the smallest of the Cornish Crosses and we weighed her today and she hit the scales at 10 lbs. Everytime I have to mess with one of those birds I always forget that "meat" means muscle, which I am quickly reminded of when they are not happy. Sheesh those birds are strong! I will collect eggs and take a picture of them and we will see what happens.

It will be interesting to me,.. to see A- how many are double yolkers B- how many are 'actually' fertile and finally C- how many you can actually get to hatch... I'm guessing A- most or atleast half of them B- not very many C- even less than B.
This is in regards to the CX... I've never really had any FR birds, so I couldn't give an accurate prediction.
