An orp and a cross

Here is a shot of an orp and a cornish cross at four weeks.

And from another perspective.

Look at the feet on the cornish cross, they are massive!

How do the cornish cross get so big?  They eat a lot.  Here is today's feeding frenzy

                         

The cornish cross are notoriously lazy.  It has been said that they will die of thirst
ten feet from a waterer because it is too far to walk.

It is true that we have not seen them foraging in the grass that much.  They mostly
sit down in the grass close to the feeder so they can go back to eating when the mood strikes. 

Of course, in this Texas heat, we haven't been moving much either.
