Thanks all!! Update on these guys. Crops are empty this morning. Droppings are a bit "rough" looking right now but on the mend I think. Thanks to you all.
... Yes. Cornish are engineered to grow quickly and die anyway. This particular case as I understand it.. is the girl thought they were "cute" and bought them. Then they got big. She went to jail and the birds were left in a cage to die. Life is cruel indeed.
I rescued two 6 mo old Cornish X's this weekend. Real hard crops, birds are weedy but otherwise very active. Raised in a metal bottom cage and left for death.
Besides getting them on the ground, what else do I need to do for them? Will they resume to normal having access to grit? Back off...
