| Cornish |
Cornish are stocky ole meat birds with short, close-fitting feathers from the Southwest corner of England. Most of the chicken people buy in the supermarket comes from a White Cornish / White Plymouth Rock cross. Because these poor little guys were bred to be confined, they're not the best outdoorsmen. And they're so heavy that they can't mate very well, either. Poor little dudes.
