    Is it normal to feel chicken breast bone

    I noticed its really pointy but don’t know if it’s normal to feel since she was sick about two weeks ago with sour crop. I do see her eating blueberries, water, feed and some bugs. She also has gained some weight back but I would think that I wouldn’t feel the breast bone by now

    Cornish Cross Weight at 8 Weeks?

    I understand that Cornish X's should be slaughtered at about 9 weeks of age and males will be around 10 pounds, females around 8. Is this true? Or are these numbers too high?
