Cornish Cross Booking 2024

Cornish Cross is one of the most popular meat chickens. They require special feeding and care but they mature very quickly. They weigh around six pounds when they reach six weeks of age by efficiently converting feed into flesh. They are the best choice for a person who wants to quickly produce delicious meat and has no plan to save hens for egg production.

Males: 9 to 11 pounds
