[QUOTE="Timmy59, post: 3743352, member: 39982"] Chicken genetics are kept almost top secret. I've tried to find the genetic make up of these birds and come up empty handed. They are a Cornish cross of sorts but not the same line as what's typically available in stores. They are called slo grow broilers, There's a few hatcheries that carry them and some will list them as Rangers of some sort. They are a heavy bird, thick legs, some curled toes and not a big forager. But they do get around and are not the slugs of the Cornish X. I suspect the hens do 150-200+ eggs and BIG eggs, can't shut the carton eggs. And when their double yolkers their near football size lol. Your statement and question was also mine and I'm quite pleased with the decision we made. [/QUOTE]
