Product Description
Broilers commercially developed by crossing specialized strains of white Cornish cocks with equally specialized strains of white Plymouth Rock hens. Cornish-cross broilers are interested in only one thing: eating. Commercial broilers grow fast and tender, reaching 5 pounds (2.25 kg) in 6 to 7 weeks. When they’re not eating, they sit around developing bad habits, such as picking on each other or growing so big so fast they develop bone ailments or heart failure.
Because they were developed to be raised in climate-controlled housing, they don’t actively forage and won’t do well outdoors when the weather is extremely hot or cold. Managing these hybrids therefore requires careful attention.
