On the CX note. I raised 5 dif batches Last year. The first was bought at RK, then I placed orders for the rest of the batches from RK with no issues with any of the chicks. I raised them in a frame tractors that got moved daily (when bigger x2 moves a day). They turned out awesome. I can't wait...
