I went out to do my morning chores and when I shooed the cornish out to put clean straw down, one was just standing there gasping for air.. I watched her for a minute and realized she had to be culled, she was blue.. It really solidified the fact that I NEVER want to raise these birds again.. I know I am going to eat them, but I can not stand to see them suffer.. She was filled with fluid and I ended up cleaning her and giving her to my dogs because I didn't want her to go to waste.. It was my first time processing a bird and I am really glad that I had the experience. It was so hard to watch her suffer though as I was hurrying trying to get everything ready..
 
I know alot of people would have eaten her, but I myself can not eat a sick animal.. I am so glad I found her when I did and that she didn't have to die on her own like that..
