You are right. White Rock Cornish X.

I would like to ration out my chick food for my white rocks (meat birds). Does anyone have any suggestions how much chick grower 30 white rock chicks should be given per day so that I'm not starving or over-feeding them. They are 4 weeks old and I would like to butcher at about 9 weeks...

I just gathered 9 eggs from 8 hens! First time that's happened that I know of. Usually they lay anywhere from 3 to 7 so I didn't even know that they were all laying yet, but now I know.

Thank you so much for this question and all who have answered. I live in Northern Ontario and I now know not to bother with the heat lamp and to not keep the light on 24/7. Also I have been putting snow in the coop for their water supply and they seem to love it and it serves the purpose.
