When did you go from starter to grower with meat birds (what age)? Also, did you do a finisher the last few weeks or just stick with the grower?

I would suggest you use a starter feed for the first 8-10 weeks of your chickens life. I would then slowly transition into a grower feed for the remainder of their growth. This should help you see the most growth in the safest method possible.When did you go from starter to grower with meat birds (what age)?

I process my meat birds at 8-10 weeks so just use starter
I am giving them scratch right now and some BOSS to supplement. Probably a 1 - 5 ratio. I can bump that up when they are older too. They seem to like the food, it's all lacto-fermented.You can just use starter feed...but I would recommend that you process your birds at 10-14 weeks and supplement with cracked corn. My neighbor only grows meat birds and he claims that this supplement help a lot...
