Cornish Cross

After Sharon read my last post about Freedom Rangers and Cornish Cross she said that it sounds like I'm disparaging the Cornish Cross.  I read what I wrote and I can see where someone might look at the last post and agree with her, so I want to make sure that I try to clarify myself.  The intent wasn't to disparage the Cornish Cross since it's the bird that we've really had great success with on pasture and have really liked their flavor and texture.  I was really trying to show the differences between the traits in the two types.  There is a reason that the Cornish Cross is the most popular meat chicken - it's because all of the traits that make it a great meat bird have been bred into it.
