Life span of my Cornish X

[hotmessJess]

I'm am beside myself with worry about my meatie! He was attacked by a dog and his wing is completely destroyed! I'm so mad I could spit because he was in such good health otherwise. I don't even know what to do!

We got the Cornish hen cross breeds and my husband is against me slaughtering them.

Feed restricted, free ranging, I've raised CX past a year. Ultimately, however, the birds are not genetically predisposed to long life.

Process them, start over. If you can't eat what you've raised, part them out and throw em in the back of the freezer till you've forgotten raising them, turn them into burgers, or turn them into sausage. Less recognizeable.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Glad you are here.

What are his specific reasons? We might or might not be able to help if we know why.
