It's kinda sad that they outgrow that incredibly cute stage so fast, they're monstrous feathered garden marauders in no time.Rebeccahttp://rebeccasurbanfarm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-68571980746655972682010-03-24T18:13:14.342-04:002010-03-24T18:13:14.342-04:00We're raising some chickens for the first time...We're raising some chickens for the first time, and ours are almost 5 weeks old at this point.

We've put several other breeds in our freezer and enjoyed them a lot. And those Rock roosters will end up there too. Decided to try the Cornish b/c of the quick growth and I've read that they are much meatier than other breeds. I'll have to let you know what I think about the taste in a couple months.Stephanie Appletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411714132368771649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22053382.post-37995342805149158392010-03-24T17:58:13.622-04:002010-03-24T17:58:13.622-04:00It's really sad that, the fact the Cornish X g...It's really sad that, the fact the Cornish X grow so fast, is advertised as a benefit. What you will have is the equivalent of a 300 pound toddler. They will still be chicks when they are butchered at around 10 weeks. I know lots of people raise them for the convenience, as they do only take that long to get to market weight, but a good heritage meat breed raised to proper weight, though it will take 6 months, will taste better and be healthier than the Cornish X. Those Rocks you have will be a good bird for the freezer. They all sure are cute!Amynoreply@blogger.com
