Yes you are right they are and that is what most people are unprepared for, they have no idea how a very sedintary chicken thats eats so much can produce that much waste. They don't move around much, they become to heavy to roost and end up resting in the droppings and they become pretty rough looking. I think it is a good topic to discuss when folks are considering getting into raising their own meat birds. I also own some very big White rock breeding stock and they too mirror the same habits as the Cornish X being half of the X you can surely see it.
