Meat Chickens

Jumbo Cornish Cross

The Jumbo Cornish Cross Chicken is a fast developing; broad breasted meat type chicken. Ready to dress in six weeks or sooner. Feed high protein feed that is 21% or better.  Fluid in the body cavity (Ascite) and/or leg weakness may result and it may be necessary to restrict the feed intake - slowing down the growth rate.

Dear Cackle. This was our family's 1st year showing Market Broiler chickens at our Country Fair.  This is my daughter, Dominique with her 2010 Grand champion Pen of 3 Market Broilers at the Tehama District Fair, Tehama County, California.  Thank you for helping us have the best 1st year we could have imagined!!

Did You Know:  A chicken tractor is a movable pen with no bottom. This can be moved around the yard and the manure goes directly into the ground.
