We have 10 four week old Cornish Rock's. I was wondering if we can move them outside yet to the coop? The smell so bad! We chanage bedding frequently, and they still are super stinky. We live in the Upper Penn. of Michigan, and our temps right now are anywhere from 55deg to 72deg during the days and our lows at night are 35-45deg. They have most of their feathers, but look kinda patchy to where I can still see a little pink skin in spots. We could put a heat lamp in the coop if needed too.
Also, the Mill where we ordered them from advised to keep them on the Starter feed. It is in a mash-form, something they grind there at the Mill. Is this okay, or do they need to go on the Grower feed? Plan to butcher between 8-9weeks.
What kind of feeding schedule should we be following now? The 12hr on and 12hr off?
First time with meaties..
Thanks!
