Walker farm family recommended your channel. To see the difference between American bress and Cornish cross.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

We are going to do a similar experiment but with 30 chicks in spring. Want to compare mortality rates, feed, growth, taste, and profitability of selling them finished.

[@Norefils]

Looking forward to the comparison

We're still raising Cornish Cross, but our first flock of ABC chicks are just about to start laying. We're hoping that within a couple of year, the ABC birds will be our main source of chicken meat. We've sampled two ABC at 12 weeks and they were delicious 😋

[@Norefils]

Have you thought about crossing the two?

[@The.Recreational.Homestead]

I did try that for a little bit, I have a couple videos on it but I decided to focus my time on make the American Bresse better

[@poultrynpalms]

Punching holes in feet seams a bit extreme surly you could just use wing bands or leg bands to keep track of your stock?

[@pearlymopar]

Wing bands punch a hole in the wing and leg bands do fall off. It's like getting your ears pierced, not too bad I'd say. I was so young I don't even remember the pain ;)

[@poultrynpalms]

@@pearlymopar I never realised the wing bands went through the wing the ones that I saw used just went over the wing like a band in either metal or plastic like the leg band but shaped for the wing

⛳️ 🎳 he’s cracking me up!

[@The.Recreational.Homestead]

It easy 😂 that’s my boy. I would always say in gym class I only run if the cows get out 😂

[@WalkerFarmFam]

How about I visit in 14 weeks and do the taste test since I haven’t eaten either but a few times 👍🏻👊🏻

[@The.Recreational.Homestead]

So your coming to our house for thanksgiving? 🥳

[@WalkerFarmFam]

@@The.Recreational.Homestead I mean… we have to mark Michigan off our list sooner or later 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@karenladwig]

I like cornish cross birds.

[@louisguerin8443]

I like that you are doing this comparison. Thank you for showing us what Feed you use. I had my chicks on 22% up to four weeks and then I switch them to 30% game starter feed for 10 weeks before switching to cracked corn soaked in milk. I didn’t notice too much of a difference, but it was an interesting experiment.

[@raymccarty4612]

Do you keep your chicken plucker outside?

[@The.Recreational.Homestead]

😂 could probably put it away now, I let someone use it and didn’t want to put it right in the barn just in case.
