Welp Hatchery speciali es in Cornish Rock Broilers. These are fast growing, meat-type chickens grown and raised by thousands of Americans across the country. We often use the term e plode when referring to their rapid growth, as they are in the 5-6 pound dressed weight range at 49-56 days. Due to their fast growth rate, they should be managed a little bit differently than other breeds and will be ready to butcher around 6-8 weeks of age. About 90 of our Cornish Rocks are sold as straight run chicks which means you should have early fryers at 5-6 weeks of age. For roaster weights 8-10 pounds dressed , take pullets to 12-15 weeks of age and dress them out.
