lol Faith right there with you. When my family tries to make me feel guilty I say "But they are soooo juicy!" Yes I am very happy with the cornish cross. On one of the forums I watch a man said they are a cross between a white rock hen and a standard sized cornish rooster (or maybe the other way around?) Each bird cost 1.64 incl shipping I bought 100# of feed 15.00 .30 per bird I might have to buy one more bag So maybe .15 more per bird 2.09 per bird to slaughter weight I don't really count water 4 # bird dressed out to 3# .70 per pound right? Even if they ate double what I expect it won't be more than 1.00/#. Here organic chicken goes for 4.99/# at the grocery Not a bad conversion

They are so delicious, I mean cute. :o)
Are they cornish rocks again?
Did you happen to do a cost sheet that showed how much you ended up paying per pound of meat? I'd be interested in knowing, if you did. :o)
