How Long Will A Cornish Cross LIVE?????? 

Shows how much I know, the Doe goes to the buck. Not the other way around! 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

For people who are interested in the Cornish cross it starts at 9:08 I'm sure the other stuff is fascinating but this is going to be the first video a lot of people see of you. Might want to do the inside baseball stuff after instead of before but your call thanks for the info

Update on Hoover Hatchery, turns out they did email me but the emails went into my spam folder. Sorry for claiming that they did not email me. They are resending my order

I always order from Murray McMurray hatchery. Post office always holds the chicks and calls me for pick up.

FYI, we have 2 Cornish at 2 years old, and still active. We restricted their diet for the first year and a half. Now they have unlimited access to feed and not over eating.

Thats really sad to hear abt that, thank you for sharing with us this incident, hatchery must be responsible and must respond accordingly. Dont you worry everything will be fine. You are very dedicated and good person and you will manage it easily. Live happily and love to see you working with family. 😊😊😊

Ive started feeding my Cornish Cross rooster a diet that's heavier in scratch. Surprisingly, he seems more energetic than he was when he was on the 24% mix.

Chicks probably were in somebody's air conditioning and got chilled. Happened to me once.

Sounds like everyone dropped the ball on that order.

I have 2 cornish x hens. They lay eggs and oldest is 2.5yrs

As for the getting to big to fast, I have the current worlds heaviest chicken (a whopping 24.5 pounds) and he grew very quickly. The other chicken I bought grew much faster than him, and was nearly unable to walk at 2 weeks. She stopped growing after 5 weeks, and lived to 8, before a heart attack. The world record chicken, just kept growing. He was born in April last year, and stopped growing about 3 months ago. In the last three months he has increased in weight by half a pound. He can walk fine, and even still run, primarily when scared or for a hen. I keep him inside at night, less cold and prevent the neighbors from hearing the crows in the morning. Bath every 2 weeks to stop mites and keep him clean. hes in perfect health, except for a "callous" of the back of his calf. He sits there, but it really protrudes sideways.

i have a cornish cross she is a year old and shes laying eggs for my black australorps im going to put them in the incubator

Oh man! This happened to me with my first online order.... got stuck in a sudden snow storm womp womp! was devastated! Rabbits are the ultimate! We do Silver fox!

It took four days for my chicks to get here,I lost 5 cornish and 1 layer. Luckily the rest made it. They did reimburse me for the chicks I lost.

Well Hoover Hatchery is out then!!!!

"They wound up right back on my porch again"? No idea what that means or did I misunderstand?

Howdy I know it's frustrating when mail order critters arrive dead (colony of bees for me), but I've ordered from hoover hatchery for all my birds, both layers and Cornish cross. So far, knock on wood, I've had just one die in three shipments. My Cornish cross shipment had ten extras in it. I called to make it right and they said no charge since it was their error.

Appreciate the content, but really wanted the title question answered up front.

We have a Cornish hen that is 7 months old. She has a hard time getting around. Probably 20 lb but she still surviving and she's laying eggs even with snow

Thats horrible about your order! I have been really tempted to try keeping a Cornish cross roster and hen and seeing if I could breed them. I'm interested in seeing how your experiment goes

I have 3 of the Cornish cross that we have let live, they are huge and about 8months old.

The MEMORY CARD ! I was cheering for rabit to succeed and now is history!

How long did frank make it??

Wow that's terrible! I've been ordering my chicks this summer from Hoover Hatchery via Tractor Supply - Tractor Supply has sent out emails and text alerts when they ship, and only takes 2 days. Like, mailed on Wed, received on Friday. Also, my post office calls me as soon as they arrive and I run get them. Out of 90, I've lost 3, with is a 1.03% death rate, not bad for mailed chicks in my opinion. And it was one particular shipment, 2 were Blue Andalusians, might be a little less hardy but they are definitely smaller. Note: I think they are cheaper through TS, but you have to watch for availability if you are wanting a certain type. Anyway I am loving your videos, thank you!!!

I feel you. Once, we ordered 60 EGGS! When they got here only about 30 were alive. In the end, we only had ONE ROOSTER LEFT! He's still alive. >:(

Thanks

Idk if those are temporary cages but plaase don’t keep the rabbits in those cages the wires hurt their feet!! I know you’re gonna eat them idc about that but they should have a good life before. Look into a plastic bottom or something please

Sorry about the chicks, hope everything still works out. Also hope those turkeys heal up! Did I miss you mention about how long til bunnies should show up?

The only reason I have quail is because I can't have chickens. Would switch in a second because the quail waste way too much food. Ohhh also never name a broiler even if your breading them.

How many eggs does a Cornish hen lays in a week?

Use cackle hatchery. I get hundreds every year and hardly have any fatalities ever. I've had no luck with Hoover Hatchery or Meyer Hatchery

Please try Cackle Hatchery, I never lost a chick and they package better than anyone, straw heating package, and some hydro jelly.

How long did Frank live

Meyers hatchery is by you so you could prob even pick them up anyhow I love their golden buffs, barred rocks and rhode island reds :)

The female might kill the male if you put him in her cage. The male gets his own permanent house. You bring the doe to the buck.

censured 😳 ~ so what happen to the dead chicks? what did they say? did they get a refund? or shipped u another one ?

I use Welp, have never had not one single one die during or at arrival.

10 minutes I to the video and finally talk about the topic if the video....

do cornish crosses have the same offspring when mated?

So much can happen When shipping chicks Weather conditions to just USPS Employees thst don't care

I clicked on the video for the Cornish info 5 plus minutes in and nothing .. 🙄🙄

Sue the postal service!

chicks at that age unless your in the tropics prolly died of hypothermia

I used to have very good luck with hatcheries twenty years ago, but now the hatcheries are over whelmed by all of these Mc Farmstead people. The quality of service has gone down. I used McMurray for years , but now use Cackle hatchery. But again the service has fallen. I ordered new blood for my flock and a few turkeys , out of 45 birds , 12 lived. At least they gave them to me for free. But I ordered 45 butcher chickens for Cornish game hens and they were sent Wed. Arrived Saturday! Five dead on arrival. Five more dead the next day! Too long in shipping! I remember when they used to over night them. By the way I got two years out of a Cornish hen , she laid eggs but eventually dropped over. My broad breasted butcher turkey is three years old but crippled. I have butchered a Cornish rooster and he dressed at 15 pounds. Nice. Try looking into caponizing.

Hey I just found your channel and subscribed I did so because you seem like a normal healthy American family and obviously your daughter has the right State of mind when she says the bunnies are going to be delicious honestly she probably won me over I have been raising chickens but I've been trying to convince my wife 2 let me set up some rabbit hutches I've been told that with the right breed 2 bucks in 3 does can produce more meat then the average bovine don't get me wrong I love red meat but I think with the times were in we should all be looking at becoming self-sufficient at least one step at a time.

where I come from under skin control has begun

That's sad poor chicks

Live animals shipped by mail? Mmm. Nope. Very sad.

Time find a different hatcher

do you have your cornish cross Marek's Vaccination

I don’t expect mine to live ha ha they get egg bound

That’s your post office fault. That’s terrible

They died from hunger😭😭

😢

That’s way too long. 2 days max even that’s a lot

I have like 7 to see how long the survive but we would pick them of and only leave one rooster

NOOOOO YOU TAKE THE FEMALE TO THE MALE!!!!

Sorry had to give the vid a thumbs down. Not a fan of videos that waits til the end of the video to show what the title says. Skipping through 70% of a video isn’t very fun. Sorry that’s just my opinion. Hopefully future videos will either have the time posted for certain parts of the video or will simply just give up the baby without the labor pains LOL good day
