Dark Cornish

Hey all, I'll be looking for some (standard) Dark Cornish eggs this spring, if you have, or know of anyone that might have, I'd appreciate a heads up!

I have some here imported from McMurray's last July. I could sell you some hatching eggs in the spring of 2013. If you are interested in buying some from please email to make arrangements.

Rosewood, I hate to tell you, but that isn't a dark cornish you have in the photo......

...yeah, wrong comb for starters.

Swamp Hen, do you want Large fowl or bantams?

i will have hatchery quality lf dark cornish eggs/ chicks end january/ february they are not as nice as show quality by any means but they are still good enuff to use for table birds
They are a combinatuion of mcmurray and ideal hatcheries in the states...

I had a Black Cochin do a stand in. Sorry.

Those Cochin! Always trying to steal the show! I would love to see what McMurray offers in Dark Cornish, Rosewood!

Sue from the Cluck and Quack Poultry club in Winnipeg area raises them I know she said at the show she will be selling eggs or Chicks

Thanks guys, I think I'll try to get ahold of Sue, she's closest to me it looks like. If she doesnt have any however, you'll be hearing from me Appway, would you happen to have an e-mail for Sue?

What does a full grow cornish weigh and how many week does it take? Thanks for your time.

Hummmm buckeye x dark cornish hatching eggs? Do you have any of those triplejfarms?

You would still want to butcher these guys at 14-16 weeks , they do forage well, don't find they eat to much more than my other birds especiualy when aloud to free range. I have not weighed them yet, I am taking some pullets to the processors very soon, the cockerels are bigger than the girls by far... I will let you know when processing is done the weights. I won't have any buckeye/ cornish eggs for sale but I bet if you did sweet talk renneggaide he would sell ya some! LOL be nice glen! Lol

OK, I hope these are correct.
