These are my CX at 4 weeks. My wife hates that I call them "cankles" (look at the legs in the last pic- looks like CHF edema) or "toads" or "Chets" (after Wyatt's older brother in Weird Science when Kelly LeBrock turns him into a festering lump). She calls them BB's for Baby Broilers or "meat...

Every WL I owned have been slim bodied birds, lean and nearly breastless. I won't even cull them for people food when they "age out"; I run them through the plucker, do a rough gut (leaving the lungs and kidneys in) and quarter them for raw food for the doggos. All my leghorns at this point...
