The Cornish Cross fryers will produce a 6 pound ready for the freezer 
carcass in 8 weeks.  The chicken is disgusting.  It can hardly walk by the 
time it is ready to butcher.  It just eats, sit, and defecates.  They rarely 
will survive to adulthood, and some say they cannot even reproduce due to 
weight.  The meat produced is a very good conversion and the quality is 
superb.  This hybrid is totally dependant on us to survive.
