We picked up the Cornish Cross a week ago, and in the flurry of events, did not get first day photos. They are a week and couple days old now, developing feathers, eating like... well, Cornish Cross, and poohing up a storm! That's their nature. They are the "pig" version of chickens. They have grown quickly. The order of eight got mixed up, and we only received five, but have ordered eight for the next batch to be delivered in September. While I would prefer to have them all done for the year, it is what it turned out to be.
They are already double the size of the layer chicks, in their own special crate because they kind of overpower the little ones, and will be ready to be outside in three more weeks.
