I'm sure there is already a thread out there. But anyways I just ordered 25 Cornish rocks from ideal that will be here next week. My questions are:
1.) It is recommended to feed high rations and high protein feed from what I have read. Would purina flock raise be good enough? And if so what kind of rations?
2.) I have seen that this cross grows extremely fast and wondered if they are situ le to keep with other chicks? And will they be ready in 4-6 weeks or so they need longer or how do you decide when they have had enough time to grow?
3.) has anybody had problems with laying on each other and killing some birds. I read where it had happened and have seen several posts that there is a high death rate?
Thanks for everyone's help!
