"The most remarkable meat producing bird. Chicks with broad breasts, big thighs, white plumage, and yellow skin. Chicks for your own pleasure or to raise and sell, you can't do better. If you want to raise capons, buy males and have them caponized at 2 or 3 weeks of age. Females have a fine smooth finish when dressed and reach beautiful roasting size. Buying straight run chicks gives you some of each sex so that you can take advantage of the strong points both ways. We think our Cornish X Rock chicks are among the finest meat birds in America. We should know. We fill our family freezers with them every year!" ~excerpt from hatchery description
