    Cornish Rock can't stand?

    A separate pen seems to be the way to go. I didn't do this poor girl any favors by treating her like the other layer breeds, and now the damage is done. It sounds like your drawer feeder design is a good idea! My Cornish Rock would behave the same way that you're describing, so I can only...

    Cornish Rock can't stand?

    After reading everyone's replies and suggestions, I decided to find a new home for my one Cornish Rock.

They all get starter feed. Since I've...

    very large 6 week old pullet with huge feet

    I have a Cornish Rock that is huge. She's bigger than my other full grown Cornish Rocks have been, and she has trouble walking or standing for more than a minute or two. She almost acts as though her legs won't support her weight, even though her legs and feet are also quite large. I've been...
