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.

Q: Is it normal to have 6 babies pass within the 1st week of getting them? This is the first time I had them shipped. Buying them (other breeds) at the store, even when they first come in. I've never had any pass away until now.

- A: We are sorry to hear you had so many losses within the first week, this is not normal for our shipments. Please reach out to Tractor Supply Customer Solutions at (877)718-6750 and they will be able to help with this.a year agoHelpful?
Q: I have lost a dozen chicks the first week. Is this common?! (I did treat with Corid still no luck). I placed another order for 10 laying hens and now need to order more of these and am concerned. I have been raising chicks for six years and never had this
a year ago1 Answer
- A: We’re sorry to hear about your experience—losing that many chicks in the first week is understandably frustrating, especially after years of success. While some early loss can happen due to stress from shipping or environmental factors, losing a dozen is not typical and is something we take seriously. Please give us a call at 641-323-6100 so we can look into this further and work with you toward a resolution.a year agoHelpful?
Q: Are the chicken vaccinated for coccidiosis?
a year ago1 Answer
- A: This specific assortment does not come vaccinated. There are certain breeds offered on TSC website that you can purchase with vaccinations. Demand is extremely high right now, and chicks are selling quickly on the website. Please keep checking back for the availability if you are looking for vaccinated chicks. If you have never had Marek's disease on your property, typically you wouldn't need to vaccinate for this, other than for peace of mind. If your birds were to get Coccidiosis, this is treatable. You are able to feed medicated chick starter.a year agoHelpful?

Dead Chicks
7 days ago
I ordered 40, it took weeks to ship, when they finally got delivered the post office called me saying most of them were dead, when I received the chicks all but one was dead, which that one didn’t survive the night. I called the hatchery and they set out another batch of chicks, which this time half of them were dead and by the time I got home (10 minute drive) the rest were dead.

Hoover has quality assurance issues
4 months ago
I ordered 40 Cornish cross but hoover on shipped 30 with one dead. I called Hoover, they told me I cannot report anything for 48 hours. I lost four more birds the same day they arrived. After 48 hours I called back and they said they did not have any at the moment but should have more on 5/12 and would ship then. I did receive the 10 plus 5 replacements, 3 of them died on the first day. I will go back to the company I have previously.
