While not as fast as the Cornish Cross, our Red Bro Yield is the fastest grower out of the red broiler chickens. This hybrid is crossed with a Red Bro female and a Color Yield male. The Red Bro Yield closely rivals the Cornish Cross in terms of meat yield and feed conversion.
Red Bro Yield: Fastest Growing Red Broiler
If quick processing times are a priority, then the Red Bro Yield is the ideal bird for your farm. They are ready for processing a full week earlier than the Red Bro. This chicken breed is an excellent option for those seeking a quick return on investment. Due to popular demand and delayed hatching times, these birds have a projected availability of June or late July.
Cold-tolerant and good foragers, the Red Bro Yield is highly suitable as a pasture-raised chicken. They also thrive in free-range environments.
Keep your Red Bro Yield chicks in the brooder space for at least 3-4 weeks until they are fully-feathered and ready to live outdoors full-time. Consider the local climate conditions and the time of year before putting your chickens on pasture.
Appearance may vary, but they typically have light red feathers with a layer of white feathers underneath. They also have yellow beaks, feet, and shanks. They have a large, broad breast, but a shorter breastbone than the Jackie.
Their feed conversion rates are superior to the Red Bro, but not as optimal as the Cornish Cross. Growers can expect a conversion rate of 1.97 to 2.3 between 7 to 9 weeks.
With optimal care, this broiler can reach a live weight of 4.75 to 6.35 lbs in 7 to 9 weeks. Available as straight run only.
