Description
This group is for people who are caring for Cornish X chickens, commonly called 'Broilers'. These chickens are the ones you see crowded in tiny cages that are stacked onto semi-trucks being shipped to slaughter. They are also the ones you see on the side of the road where they have escaped from the truck's cages. Most do not make the fall but the ones that do are sometimes picked up by caring people who want to give these birds a better life than they have ever known and if that’s you then you have found the right place.
Here we will discuss medical problems, diet, exercise and all other care.
If you are caring for a Cornish X and do not plan on raising them for slaughter you are welcome here. You do not need to be a vegetarian or a vegan to be in this group, but an animal friendly diet does help the chickens out! :)
You will not be permitted to join or shall be banned if you are here to harass or belittle those in this group.
If you have found a Cornish X chicken and can not care for them, we also have a growing database of people willing to care for these very special birds.

Re: Hi all..
Hi, Jo, Â Corn is kind of chicken junk food. Lots of empty calories, which these birds don't need. You might see if something more balanced is available.

Re: Hi all..
Hello Jo, Corn will really pack the weight on. It's essentially candy for chickens - high on calories and low on nutrients. My Betty does well on controlled
