Meat bird leg problem ( edibility )

[Mr.Yardbird]

I have one meat bird ( who still eats and drinks like crazy ) but has the dreaded leg problem. My other 14 birds ( from the meat and eggs combo ) are all fat and healthy.
What has folks done with these birds? Do you still dress them out or use them for something else?

Regards,
Mr.Yardbird

What is the dreaded leg problem? Is it broken?

 

[Mr.Yardbird]

They are cornish x rocks, it seems it just cant stand on its own, the others can but this one cannot. I've read about them being notorius for this.

The only way the meat wouldn't be good is if the leg problem was caused from a disease or illness. If the problem is caused from excess weight, I wouldn't worry, and as far as meat birds go the leg problems are caused by gaining faster than their legs can adjust for. There may not be much meat on her leg since she can't use it much, but other than that make you a roast or something!!! LOL!!!
