Never raised them. I just breed my birds for meat amount, & quality. I just take whoever has the most meaty breasts, & breed them together. But also feed a high protein diet, which also helps maintain their muscles.
I've found that certain birds, just never really get meaty, & stay thin. Those I cull anyways, to remove them from the gene pool.
