Probably a cornish cross. By poultry factory, do you mean meat birds? If so, that's what she is. If you intend to keep her as a pet, you'll need to do some research. There are lots of threads here about keeping meaties as pets. sometimes it works, more often they don't live very long.

agree Cornish cross literally eat themselves to death and are processed when only 10-12 weeks of age.

Thank you for all the info...after researching, I'm almost certain she's a Cornish cross...exhibits all the traits and characteristics I've read about on this forum....yep, she came from a place that raises all meat birds so this matches up. Super helpful all!

Good luck with her! I had a cornish cross that lived over 2 happy/healthy years. I have heard of others that lived longer.
