Cornish Cross Chicken Hens As Egg Layer Compared Gram To Gram with ISA Browns

We were given some chickens that we were told were egg layers... technically true, but when we went to pick them up and I felt the sheer mass of those breasts, I knew they were Cornish Cross. They were mixed run and two let us know the next morning that our relationship wouldn’t work out. Over the next week, another three let us know, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

Living in the city, we have to be sensitive to our neighbors and as we pass out eggs like Piggly Wiggly and keep it clean, we don’t have to many problems.

There were plans for the other four but when the first eggs appeared, that’s a game changer. We are comparing their eggs to our ISA Brown layers. Various weights checked and compared.
