Overview of Cornish Cross Meat Birds

What happens here

As a final segment, the presenter provides an overview of his Cornish Cross meat birds from Murray McMurray Hatchery. These chickens are raised in a mobile chicken coop made from PVC pipe and drain pipe, measuring about 10 feet wide by 12 feet long. The coop houses approximately 35 birds and is moved daily to a fresh plot of grass. The birds are typically butchered at 6 to 8 weeks of age and are described as delicious. This demonstrates another aspect of the farm's self-sufficiency and ground maintenance practices, as the chickens help fertilize the pasture.
