What breed chickens are they getting the gigantic breasts off of? They're three times bigger than normal, like Virginia Bell was blessed with.

The one year my wife raised broilers we had Cornish Rocks. The processor remarked on their large size. All but one weighed over 7.5 lbs with most in the 8 lb range. We butchered them out at 9.5 weeks rather than the typical 8 weeks partially leading to the larger size.

I'll have to look them up.
We butchered most of our older hens last fall and several birds worth didn't equal one package from the store. Ours were Plymouth Rock somethings and Buff Orrington I think.

Virginia Bell?

I think I've seen her some of her shots on those vintage photo channels on U-Tube.

Yeah it's probable, she makes Marylin Monroe & May West look like budding teenagers.

The popular meat chicken these days is Cornish cross. They’re freaks of nature. They’ll outgrow their hips and overwork their hearts. Broken bones, dislocated hips, hearts with the consistency of pudding. The only time they moved was to go from feeder to waterer.

We’ve switched to freedom rangers. They grow a little slower, but can reach 10#.

I never knew who Virginia Bell was! But after googling her, I'll never forget! I love her!

read ironbender's post.

Cornish cross do not need growth hormones in their feed. They start out about the same size as other breeds. The white ones are the Cornish Cross.

Virginia threads are always the best...


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
