Cornish Cross Broiler Chicks = straight run

These broilers are top of the line when it comes to being efficient meat producers. Chicks are yellow in color. Both males and females are white in color as adults. In just eight weeks the live weight of males can reach approximately 10lbs and females approximately 8.25lbs. The average feed intake per bird is just 17.5lbs over the period of eight weeks. Approximately 25% of the live weight is breast meat. Approximately 13% of the live weight is thigh meat. Approximately 10% of the live weight is drumstick meat. Overall, an eviscerated bird should average 75% of the live weight. These birds are not bred for egg production; therefore, we do not suggest ordering females with the expectation of them laying eggs.
