Broiler and Layer Sizes at 3 Weeks

Jul 31, 2013 20:48:59

We got a batch of isa browns and a batch of cornish cross meat birds on the same day. This is what they look like together at 3 weeks.

Hard to believe that these are the same species!

nice pic, great comparison.

hard to convince folks not to raise the freaky white ones...
but i'm sticking with real chicken

In the long run, you'll get more calories out of the isa brown than you will out of the CX.
It is rather startling to see the 2 compared side by side at that age.
You'll probably have a dozen chicken dinners before you eat your first egg. lol

I've got a similar pic at that age...so funny!!! My CX and the DP bird were free ranged together and fed the same ration, so not as big a difference in size but still remarkable difference all the same. The one on the left is a little cockerel and the CX is a pullet.

What do you have to say for yourself? Hmmm? Anything? And you call yourself a tiny ad.
