Hsklj2008,
Re-read the earlier posts, your clerk obviously did not know what s/he was talking about. Yes Cornish rocks are vigorish eater and POOP a lot but the benefits of breeding them into your dual purpose line is a benefit. There are other BYC threads discussing the cross as well as threads discussing feeding them easy to make furmented feeds. Free ranging them as you are doing is also a plus. Search for a furmented feed thread by " Beekissed", she has great comments.
Please post pictures when you have some.
PS. As others have stated Crornish will out grow their regular hatch mates so yes they could become bullies like all chickens.
