Cornish Cross Chicken Breed Information and Chicken Facts
Cornish Cross Chicken Breed Information:
The Cornish Cross Chicken is a cross between the Cornish chicken and a White Rock Chicken. They were developed for the commercial meat chicken market and have been dominating it for the past fifty
years. They are a rapid grower and pullets can reach 4 1/2 lbs by 6 wks of age and cockerels 6 lbs by 6 wks of age. They grow so fast that their legs give out from weight and it is not
recommended that they be kept for breeding.
