Why is my chicken so fat??

[Carrell Cluckers]

I have 2 of these white chickens and they are so fat. Any idea why? They also separate themselves from the others and tend to be loners.

Meat chicken —Cornish cross. They grow big fast but aren’t bred to live long.

They are Cornish X meat birds. If they are over 8 weeks they need to be butchered. Man I love homegrown chicken! Yummy!

Oh no! Not what I wanted to hear looks like what we thought were egg layers aren't. Doesn't look like we are going to have many eggs as my chickens keep turning into roosters and meat chickens....

Awe! I'm sorry! Maybe next time you can get chicks that are 100% females and egg layers.
