This is depending on age! If younger than 6-8 weeks, I'm changing my opinions!

My barred one was one of my favorites. Most friendly.

I accidentally was sold a Cornish x who is now 13 weeks and going strong. I'm not butchering mine as I wasn't intending to get one. I go thru more food because of it, but I'm gonna keep her and raise her with all my others!

while that is a nice thought it is totally likely that one day you will walk out and see your Cornish X sitting on the ground with its feet out in front of it. Trying to raise one is a waste unless you feed it very very sparingly and make it hunt for its food. They aren't made to have a long life. They just aren't designed that way. I got a bunch intending to eat them, but they were so sweet that I no longer wanted to eat them, but they took the option away from me as they got a little older as they got too heavy to move. So then we would have to cull them anyway. Would be a waste to bury chickens that I got in the first place to eat. So we processed them and ate them. They are a super friendly funny bird. Sucks that they don't have too much longevity.

I've said it before I'll say it again 9 out of 10 times here at My place the friendly pretty ones that I like the most are always -- ALWAYS roosters. Sucks. But then since I like them I have a hard time eating them, but if I don't get with the program I will have a rooster farm and all my hens will be bald.
