Our eggs began to hatch yesterday, and as of this morning we have 4 RIR's and 2 CornishX chicks.
We crossed our Americana/RIR rooster with 3 cornish cross hens and are hoping to be able to hatch out chicks that grow quickly and have a lot of meat. We usually buy the CornishX chicks for meat each year, but are trying to get away from having to purchase birds year after year.
We are praying that this cross will be our solution and that they will reproduce these good qualities.

Good luck with your endeavor! We too buy Cornish X every year so I'm very interested to see if your experiment works!
