Cornish Cross Broiler Chicks
ABOUT:

These broilers are top of the line when it comes to being efficient meat producers. Chicks are yellow in color. Both males and females are white in color as adults. In just eight weeks the live weight of males can reach approximately 10lbs and females approximately 8.25lbs. The average feed intake per bird is just 17.5lbs over the period of eight weeks. Approximately 25% of the live weight is breast meat. Approximately 13% of the live weight is thigh meat. Approximately 10% of the live weight is drumstick meat. Overall, an eviscerated bird should average 75% of the live weight. These birds are not bred for egg production; therefore, we do not suggest ordering females with the expectation of them laying eggs.

If you have never ordered Cornish Cross before, we highly recommend checking out this care video from KC Farms. https://youtu.be/jh9ip0zHiG0


Recommended Feeding Instructions:

  • Start on 20-22% protein Starter crumble feed for the first 5 weeks.
  • Switch to 18% protein Grower crumble after 5 weeks.
  • Provide unlimited feed 24 hours a day for the first week. After one week provide unlimited feed for 12 hours per day only. Water should be available at all times.
  • At 6 weeks of age males should weigh about 6lbs and females 5lbs. If you desire a larger bird they may be raised up to 9 weeks of age with males weighing about 10lbs and females 8lbs. Feed intake must be monitored well to prevent health issues if you raise birds past 8 weeks.
