agree with Jed. Cornish x have explosive growth and are generally "processed" around 10-12 weeks of age, before their organs or legs give out.

Yes. And every time I hear about someone getting one instead of the layer breed they wanted, it makes me mad. Those feed stores need to get it together and stop putting people through this kind of thing.

You will need to consider very quickly what to do with the Cornish. It will need to be processed soon, or it will die of a heart attack or it's legs will break.
