Cornichon chickens

Probably, having heard the phrase cornichon chickens, many will think: what does chicken and cucumbers have to do with it. Meanwhile, such a concept as cornichon chickens appeared just a few years ago.

The free encyclopedia Wikipedia defines the word cornichon itself as the name of some groups of plants of small-fruited varieties of the species sowing cucumber and their small fruit size, which are removed until full maturity, and then used for conservation.

It was this term that was successfully transferred to small chickens, whose weight begins at 350 grams. Most likely, the term was originally applied by poultry farms to broiler carcasses prematurely clogged, since in the hot season the bird grows very poorly. Thus, representatives of poultry farms got rid of inexpensive plants by their wonderful transformation into the so-called cornichon chickens. As a rule, in 39-42 days, the broiler reaches a weight of

2. 2-

2. 6 kilograms.

After that, the term cornichon chickens was picked up by private producers of agricultural poultry, having received a new qualitative development. And the production of cornichon chickens itself has reached a completely new quality level.

Unlike the poor quality producers mentioned above, representatives of farms and personal subsidiary farms have a completely different level of quality. If chickens are grown in factories according to traditional technology, using antibiotics and feeds that stimulate accelerated weight gain, then on the territory of farms, bird young are kept at semi-needle content. It is this condition that guarantees completely different taste qualities of cornichon chickens.
