Hoover's Hatchery Live Cornish Cross Broiler Baby Chicks, 40 ct.

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.
