I am wondering.. Is there any real value in raising chicks in same sex groups after 8 weeks? My HBR are 9 weeks old and currently in the same coop. Are they better off being separated? I can if so.
Unfortunately there are always those who want the best of everything for free. I personally don't mind paying for quality and really appreciate those who are willing to share their stock, whether it be chicks or eggs, with me. A big thank you to everyone who posts in this thread. I've learned so...
Is this what you would recommend for chicks, growers and adult birds?
Right now I'm feeding fermented oats, a handful of alfalfa pellets, calf manna, a bit of scratch with some corn and less than 50% of the mixture is 18% protein chick starter/grower. They also have access to 16% layer pellets...
