Cornish chickens are ideal for crossbreeding with American breeds such as the White Rock to produce extremely fast-growing poultry. For example, the backbone of today’s commercial poultry industry is the “Cornish Rock” broiler, a cross of White Cornish and White Rock chickens that can be harvested in only 6-8 weeks.

This is a difficult to acquire breed/color and we are fortunate to be able to offer this bird to our customers
