i killed all my chickens today but i have a concern

[nismo]

i have a concern about eating one of my chickens. when i went to round them all up one of the hens wouldnt come out of the hutch so i went in a grabbed her. she wouldnt walk, she could barely move her legs. i put her down to our work area and she didnt move. she was having a hard time im sure she would have died tonight if i hadnt gave her the axe. anyways should i be concerned about eating her or not?

chase

p.s. i recorded the slaughter so if anyone want some live action stuff on what to expect just ask

What breed was she?

 

[nismo]

cornish cross

She might have just been at the point where she was getting to large and having heart complications. How old where they? Was she especially large?

 

[nismo]

They were 9 and a half weeks old, i think she may have been the one that has always been weak.
She wasnt especially large, there were some that were bigger than her.

You should be fine eating her.

I wouldn't be concerned, she'll taste mighty good tomorrow
