I raise Cornish Rock X for meat and I feed them moderately to keep them from dying of heart attacks and every other ailment they are prone to. It sounds like you may have raised the same from the descritpion of the leg problems. I prefer them because of their rapid growth. Cornish Rock X's even when moderately fed, are still tender enough for the grill at 6 pounds- can't do that with any other heavy meat breed. By the time it takes others to get to 3 pounds dressed weight, they are too tough for the grill. BUt as I said, I know more people who have only problems with this genetic mutant. Mine still chase bugs, wander around, and fly to roost until they get to about 4 pounds.
