Cornish Cross Boiler chickens are sometimes nicknamed Cornish Giants because of the rapid growth and weight gains. This is the bird that changed American eating habits. Before Cornish Cross Broilers were developed, a chicken dinner was a rare treat reserved for special occasions. Before the Cornish Cross era chickens grew slowly while eating plenty of feed. Their meat was tasty but sparse. The Cornish Cross made broiler production efficient, and today it’s often the most inexpensive meat the grocery store sells. Cornish Cross Broilers require special feeding and care but grow astonishingly fast. These birds can be grown to a live weight of over 6 lbs. by 6 weeks of age! Or, can be managed to a roaster weight of 8-12 lbs. of Live weights of 4-5 lbs. can be achieved on close to 2 lbs. of feed per pound of meat. Cornish Cross Broilers are the best choice for a person who wants to quickly produce delicious meat. Cornish Broilers have excellent conformation: plump, tender breast meat and good skin texture.
Quick Stats:
- Lowest cost of live weight produced
- Superior performance on lower cost feed rations
- Most feed efficient
- Excellent growth rate
- Best broiler uniformity for processing

CORNISH CROSS MEAT BIRD CARE
The CORNISH CROSS BROILER is a very unique and remarkable bird. We like to think of it as the BBB – Big Breasted Broiler – it has very broad breasts, large thighs, beautiful white plumage, and yellow skin. Its rapid growth is remarkable, along with great feed efficiency. You can actually see it grow before your eyes. There are special steps to follow when raising the Broilers. In order to avoid bad legs and Heart problems, we recommend the following steps…
- Restrict access to feed to 10 hours per day for the first 3 to 4 weeks.
- Be sure the chicks have adequate feeder space so most of the chicks can eat at the same time.
- Limit protein in the feed to 20-22%.
- Limit light to natural day length or 12 hours (whichever is longer).
- Keep chicks warm with good ventilation but avoid drafts.
- Keep air quality high by keeping ammonia low.
- Do not use straw for litter – use pine shavings (Not Cedar) or ground corn cobs.
If you want the birds to be a consistent weight at butcher, purchase either all Females (hens) or all Males (roosters). If you want them to mature at different sizes, purchase the Straight Run. The Females also make excellent Cornish Game Hens if butchered at 2 to 2 ½ lbs. live weight.
