Hybrids will never breed true.

That chicken is a broiler. She needs to be processed, it is inhumane to keep her alive.

I have already made plans to have her culled and processed. I really appreciate your guidance on this one. This is my first experience with a meat chicken/broiler. Do all broilers look like this, or just this specific breed?

Not all broilers are like that. Other breeds fill out a little bit slower and aren't as (forgive me) ugly. Yours is most likely a Cornish Cross.

I kept one CX alive for breeding meat mutts. But she was on a strict diet and exercise and didn't live a year.

Meat mutts?

Just a project I am working on.
F3 cockerels dress out 5 to 7 lbs at 16 weeks

_{Perhaps over 95% of meat birds are Cornish cross - like yours. There are also Freedom Rangers and red rangers that are a bit slower growing meaties. The Cornish Rock cross were developed to be easy to pluck and grow huge breast meat fast.
