ROCHESTER HATCHERY Cornish Rock Giant Meat Chicken

These are the fastest growing, most efficient meat birds available. Their large breasts and thighs give them a great finish. This hybrid bird is good to butcher at a range of weights. For best results butcher the hens at 5-6 lbs live weight (6-8 weeks). The Roosters can be grown to 8-10 lbs. live weight in 10-12 weeks. The rooster puts more of his initial growth into his frame so he makes a better roaster. These birds give excellent results under the right conditions, but are harder to raise than dual-purpose birds or Western Rustics.
