| The Cornish chickens were developed in Cornwall England by crossing the Old English Gamefowl to Asian varieties of gamefowl. The White Cornish is one of the varieties used to develop the Cornish Rock which is the primary hybrid cross used in the production of the worlds broiler chickens. If you purchase chicken at the super market or restaurant it will most likely be Cornish Rock. We free range raise our Cornish chickens including our Cornish Rocks. The free range Cornish Rock hybrid will have more flavor and better texture than a store bought factory produced bird but will never be as tasty as the true Cornish breeds. The free ranged Cornish Rock grow very big quickly and can be dressed at only 8 - 10 weeks for a very large bird. The true Cornish can be dressed as a broiler at 12 weeks but although very tasty will be a rather small bird. If let grow to maturity they are an excellent flavored roasting bird. |
