Cackle Hatchery Jumbo Cornish Cross Chicken - Not Sexed
Description
The Cackle Hatchery Jumbo Cornish Cross Chicken is developed specifically for meat production. This fast-growing broiler is a cross between Commercial Cornish and White Rock chickens and has become one of the most popular choices for home and farm flocks focused on efficient meat production. Known for exceptional growth rates, Jumbo Cornish Cross chickens can reach market weight in just a few weeks when provided with proper nutrition and care. Cockerels can reach approximately 6 pounds by 6 weeks of age, making them an efficient option for families looking to raise homegrown chicken. These birds are valued for their docile temperament, broad breast development, and favorable feed-to-meat conversion. Sold as unsexed chicks, they are best suited for growers focused on producing high-quality meat rather than egg production or breeding.
