Hi,
I am doing a broiler pen for 4H for the first time this year, and I'm not sure of a few things... First of all, I am unsure of the type of feed necessary, and I need to know how to save money on feed to turn a better profit. Also, I know that there are certain times of the day when you don't feed them to keep them from gaining too much weight, but I don't know when and how much to restrict. Lastly, I could use advice on the subject of buyers letters, approaching buyers, and how to do well at the auction. Any advice concerning that or experiences you've had would be really helpful. My 4H club doesn't focus mainly on poultry, so my leader isn't as knowledgeable about chickens.
Thanks for the help!
