I have searched have come up empty but I need to know what to expect and do so here goes:
I am setting eggs in April and expect that if any hatch there will be a few roos. We are keeping one if we get him but that is it. The eggs will be a mixture of dual purpose heavy purebreds and crosses. I am going to try to CL the purebreds but imagine that I may have a few of them and the mixes left for the freezer.
Should I feed these boys separately and differently than my pullets?
At what age should I separate them if needed
At what age/wt should they be processed when as a cross I don't know what their ultimate weight would be?
Thanks!
