High-Quality Meat Chickens for Your Farm

cornish cross meat chicken in barnyardOur most popular meat chicken for sale is the Cornish Cross. You won't find a more efficient breed for large scale production. They have an excellent feed conversion rate and reach market weight quickly. Find growth charts and more information on this breed. 

Our Red Sasso is an alternative meat bird that is gaining popularity. They grow at a more moderate pace, so they offer a less rigorous feeding and growing schedule. They thrive in outdoor settings and add a touch of beauty to any flock. 

Heritage breeds like the Jackie have a longer grow out period, but this variety yields delicious, flavorful meat. If you have more time to invest in raising your poultry or cater to specialty markets, this might be a good option for you.
