Cornish Broiler
The Cornish Broiler (also known as the Cornish Cross or Cornish X) is the industry standard for fast-growing, efficient meat birds. These broilers are bred specifically for exceptional size, rapid growth, and outstanding feed conversion, making them the top choice for homesteaders, small farms, and anyone raising their own meat birds.
Cornish Broilers reach harvest weight incredibly quickly—often 6–8 weeks, depending on feeding and management. Their broad breasts, thick legs, and heavy muscling produce the classic, full-bodied table bird prized for its tenderness and flavor. Despite their rapid growth, Cornish Broilers are generally calm and easy to manage when provided with proper feed, space, and ventilation.
Because of their fast growth, this breed requires a high-protein diet, careful monitoring, and proper rest periods to maintain healthy development. Whether you're a first-time grower or an experienced poultry keeper, Cornish Broilers offer an efficient, rewarding way to raise your own high-quality poultry meat.

All orders must be picked up on the Saturday they are scheduled. Orders not picked up on their scheduled date are considered abandoned and will not be rescheduled or refunded.
If your order includes a shortage (a breed that did not hatch as expected), the remaining chicks on your order must still be picked up as scheduled. For any chicks unavailable due to a hatch shortage, you may choose one of the following options at pickup:
