Cornish Cross Broilers single-handedly changed American eating habits by making broiler production efficient and producing nearly a 6 lb. carcass in 6 weeks! Before Cornish Cross Broilers were developed, a chicken dinner was a rare treat reserved for special occasions. Pre-Cornish Cross era chickens grew slowly while eating plenty of feed. Their meat was tasty but sparse. Cornish Cross Broilers require special feeding and care but grow astonishingly fast. These meat birds are the best choice for a person who wants to quickly produce delicious meat and has no plan to save hens for egg production. Today it’s often the most inexpensive meat the grocery store sells. Suggested feeding schedule attachment under More Info below.

Good purchase; did lose a few birds (4 in 48 hours) but I felt like this is an acceptable loss rate- chickens are growing as expected and should make a perfect addition to the freezer!

We love our meat birds. TSC did a wonderful job shopping. All were alive and for straight run we only got 4 roosters. We love TSC. Walked in one day and now we’re father’s chickens pigs and vegetables.

Chicks arrived via USPS within a week. All 40 alive and well (and super cute!). I did have 1 chick die after a week which I am hearing is not uncommon. I would definitely order again.
