The large
massive Cornish Cockerels are bred to large broiler type
White Rock hens. The cross produces one of the finest
quality broiler type chicks that can be found anywhere. They
make market weight in 7 weeks. Many of our customers report
4 lb. broilers in 7 to 8 weeks. They give you the desired
broad breast, big leg, big thigh, uniform conformation, rich
yellow skin, extra fast feathering, real prime broilers.
We cannot overemphasize the importance of proper nutrition
for your successful results from our Cornish X Rock Cross
chicks! The tremendous growth rate makes it absolutely
essential to feed a broiler ration to this bird. We
recommend a 23% protein starter ration for the first four
weeks and a 20% protein grower ration the remainder of the
growing period. Because of the rapid weight gain of these
chicks, we suggest a vitamin supplement.
