Cornish Cross Broiler Chicks

For poultry enthusiasts focused on efficient meat production, the Jumbo Cornish Cross Broiler is the ultimate choice. Developed by crossbreeding the robust Cornish chicken with the productive White Rock, this breed is specifically designed to maximize meat output with impressive efficiency. While these birds aren’t intended for pet companionship or long-term breeding, they are unmatched in their ability to provide a substantial meat yield in a short period of time.

The Jumbo Cornish Cross Broiler thrives on a high-protein diet, requiring careful management to achieve the best results. With their rapid growth rate, they reach an average live weight of about 6½ pounds in just eight weeks, making them ideal for those looking to raise broilers quickly and efficiently. However, this accelerated growth means they should be raised separately from smaller breeds, as their size can easily outpace other chickens in your flock.

One of the most notable traits of this breed is its remarkable feed-to-weight conversion. With approximately 14 pounds of feed required to raise each bird to eight weeks of age, these broilers represent an excellent return on investment in meat production. It’s crucial to manage their feed intake carefully, starting at around two weeks of age, to prevent health issues related to their fast development. Moderating their growth helps ensure their bones can support their muscular structure, reducing the risk of leg problems and other health complications.

If you’re aiming for a specific weight, the ideal time to harvest these broilers is between 4 to 10 weeks, depending on your desired size. Keeping them beyond this window may lead to health issues such as heart and muscle strain, especially in higher altitudes where heart problems are more common. Ensuring proper care and monitoring their growth will allow you to achieve optimal results, whether you’re raising them for personal use or commercial production.
