about a dozen youngsters....in additional to their regular feedHow many birds shared that 4 1/2 cup mix?
The bird can be under or over 20percent of the Standard weight. Two birds the same, the bigger bird is going to win in the large fowl classes. They don't weigh birds in shows. I don't think you have to worry about making these too big.

OK, I managed to cut a chunk out of my index finger last night, so bear with my typing.I have seen a vast difference in size in my line when chicks are not raised properly. I feed medicated chick starter from hatch until 4 months old with added grains and Calf Manna. My chicks are wormed at 2,4,6 ,8,10 , 12 weeks, first with Wazine, and then alternating with Safeguard and Valbazan. They are dusted for parasites also with Permethrin.All my birds have access to good grass every day, and get table scraps. This of course does not please my pack of already overweight dogs, but the birds need the animal protein.How much per bird? What about pullets? Would they benefit from it as well?
I know you are talking about improving condition with proper nutrition, and I'm all for that, but will beefing up the boys help to increase the size in your lines? Okay, I'm not dense, I know that fat parents don't make for fat offspring, but will healthier, stronger, fitter, parent stock pass on stronger frames, feathers, and organs to the next generation. - maybe affecting the size? YES
I don't think I am getting my thoughts across well tonight. What I am wondering is this, If you have one pen that is getting supplemented and one pen (same lines) that are not, will F5 be larger in the first pen, even if they are not supplemented starting at four months - or will they be the same size as the F5 in the second pen? Will the F5s in the second pen be as big as the ones in the first pen if they are then supplemented starting at 4 months? NO
And how frequently do you feed this magic mix - daily, couple times a week, once a week, etc?about a dozen youngsters....in additional to their regular feed
