Jumbo Cornish Cross

Jumbo Cornish Cross
Hatched August 24th
$4.00 each SALE PRICE $2.50 each
Delivery along I25 is available on Sunday August 30th

From our experience these birds average about 5lbs (dressed) at 7-8 weeks of age. Many hatcheries do not recommend raising these birds at high altitude or in the "extreme" heat but we have never had any issues. Their survival rate (until processed!!) has proven exceptional high.
We typically keep them in the brooder for about 2 weeks, provide supplemental heat for another week and they are usually outdoors without supplemental heat by 4 weeks.
We have found that by 9-10 weeks, the males especially, start to outweigh their legs and quickly loose mobility.

Orders MUST be received prior to noon on Sunday August 30th to be eligible for the sale price and delivery.
