Product Details
Cornish Cross with Marek's and Coccidiosis Vaccine
Cornish Specific Care Instructions.
ORDERING DETAILS: You now have three options for ordering Cornish Cross chicks. The MCCSs are for orders of 15+ Cornish Cross, straight run, vaccinated for both Marek's and coccidiosis. MCCSs are not able to be picked up as they are sent from our hatching partner. If you are looking for a reduced minimum or pickup orders, please order the WBRs. Meyer Hatchery is able to ship the MCCSs to the continental United States and Alaska only and ship weekly, Monday through Wednesday.
Cornish Cross with Marek's and Coccidiosis Vaccine are vaccinated to aid in the prevention of Coccidiosis. This vaccine is in the form of a spray that is applied to the chicks the day they hatch. The spray does contain a dye, so chicks may arrive with a slight coloring. This will fade away as they mature and feather out. It is very important to remember that chicks vaccinated for coccidiosis should not be fed a medicated chick starter or given any coccidiostat (Amprolium). This will negate the vaccine.
Cornish Cross with Marek's and Coccidiosis Vaccine are also vaccinated against Marek's Disease. The vaccine is injected in the back of a chick’s neck just under the skin within 24 hours after hatching. It’s important to remember the vaccine does not prevent chickens from acquiring or spreading Marek’s but it does help reduce the severity of clinical signs.
If you are looking for a fast-growing meat bird, our Jumbo White Cornish Cross Broilers should be your first choice. Also known as Cornish X, Cornish Cross, Cornish Rock Cross, Jumbo Broilers, Cornish Game Hens, or White Broilers, these meat chickens will be ready for processing in just 7 to 8 short weeks. You can also process any gender at 2 lbs or 4 weeks for a tasty Cornish Game Hen. The MCCSs are the Ross 308 or Cobb 500 strain. They have been selected for fast feathering, steady growth, optimal feed conversion ratios, and broad breasts. This strain has yellow legs and skin. The feathers are typically white. Other strains may be substituted or added to meet consumer demand as needed. Read more information about our Cornish Cross strains.
Cornish Cross are a special hybrid that we have fine-tuned over many generations specifically for fast growth rates for meat production. Because they are a hybrid, you cannot cross a male and female Cornish Cross and hatch out more Cornish Cross. Additionally, for their own health and well-being, Cornish Cross should not be kept beyond their processing age of 6-9 weeks.
