Way to go Holms!

March must be the eye exam month. I had my appt last week. Not so lucky, increased the prescription.

@duluthralphie, and anyone who wants to chime in...

I have meaties scheduled to arrive this coming Wednesday. I bought Nutrina 22% crumble for them, but I want them to grow a bit slower like you’ve been doing with yours, so maybe that was wrong. They’re “Color Yield,” which is, as far as I can guess, a modified Red Ranger that matures a week ahead of the “old style” Ranger. I’m thinking about getting a bag of regular chick crumbles and mixing 50:50 with the high octane.

Does that sound right, more or less? Or do you just give them regular starter from the beginning?

I am not familiar with the breed.. you need the protein when young..

I try to free range as soon as I can..

Also after a couple days. Just feed them 20- minutes morning and night... then after 10 days or so just at night and make them hunt. For food..


It worked with the CXs. But

Whatever you do, do not mix a medicated feed with a non medicated feed. The medicated feed is at the proper concentration of medication and mixing it with a non medicated feed makes it so that the medication is below the required levels making it ineffective. It can also lead to the possibility of developing medication resistant strains.

I use non medicated feed..
