Cornish Giants

This is the bird that can give you almost 1 lb of meat for 2 lbs of feed. While the hens gain rapid breast meat, the roosters gain bone structure first and then fill out. Both provide good, even, high-quality meat. These birds have been bred for the table. They are not recommended as a layer. Grow up to 2000/year in Alberta without quota and you have the potential of a good return on your investment. Recommended Feeding: Day 1 to week 3 – 20-23% Protein Chick Starter (medicated unless you have had your birds vaccinated against Coccidiosis.) Week 3 onwards-16-18% Chick Grower. Mix starter and grower gradually over a week. You may put them on finisher or a homemade chop for the last 2 weeks before processing. Be sure they do not receive any medication for the 2 weeks prior to processing.
