Did you think on how old I am?
also I think your like maybe 15-23?.

Thereabouts.
I think/thought that you're in the same range. Maybe a bit older.

She acts like a normal chicken, lol. I’ve always read that you have to restrict their feed and stuff, but I’ve never had to. She eats as much as my other chickens, and free ranges with them during the day.

Pictures? She might be the slow to grow type.

She’s not. She and the 9 other cx chicks I bought with her grew very quickly. I’ll get pictures later.

Slow to grow is a term used for poor quality, for Cornish X.

Omg I read that as pregnancy

Well, a granny is usually too old to have kids... so....
I'll just cut this little string of conversation off right there, yep.

How would you define poor quality? Growth rate, or maybe weight? At 3 months old, my cockerels were 7/8 pounds cleaned, pullets 6/7 pounds.
