Crowing
Keep a feeder in the run. Remove it at night so it doesn't attract rodents.

Even on layer feed if that was a CX it would be the size of a small turkey. 16% is still plenty for them to gain weight, it would be slower but not that slow.
To the OP.... How much feed does it eat? If it was a CX it would live by the dish, and eat 5 times as much food as your other birds.
I still say that's not a Cornish Cross
Straight grower at 19% protein is a lot more than 16% layer cut with scratch and corn. Layer feed should not be fed to any bird that is not actively laying eggs. The extra calcium in layer feed can do serious damage to the kidneys of non-laying birds if fed long term. Scratch grains and corn should be fed sparingly. They are not complete feeds and should not be used as a primary diet. They are useful for adding calories in cold weather, but there is no need to feed it during the summer.I got them so grower today but even the grower feed only has 19% protein so that's not a huge difference from what I'm already giving them. My run doesn't have a top on it because it's in the woods but I'll figure something out. I bought 6 of these from tractor supply and they told me they were Cornish rocks. But regardless I don't buy anything from there anymore.
