Lost 4 of the Cornish, but they made good on the 48 hour live guarantee. Because those eggs were in the bator before the flu hit them they made good on the order. Our order that was going to deliver in May is cancelled !

Started the year with 9 of the original broiler hens but as the heat persisted they dropped 1 by 1 and we have 1 left. When we bought the Cornish we also got 3 ginger broilers. Ended up with 1 roo and 2 hens, the heat got 1 of the hens so down to 1 red broiler hen. The Cornish ended up 4 roos and 3 hens. The plan is to cross the Cornish over the broilers and have a more agile and hearty meat bird. There's a white broiler rooster in with the 4 white rock, haven't gotten fertile eggs yet.

We've got 4 chicks and 30 more eggs in the incubator. Lousy first hatch rate. The dark feathers on the white chicks says they're cornish cross on the white broiler hens we didn't put in the freezer last go round. If there's any all whites they're white rock x broiler rooster. The bloody fellow is the broiler roo, 1 of cornish roosters hopped the fence. Spring of this year I took the 2 , 20x80 runs and cut them into 3 runs. Eat more chicken 😁.
