    My 1st set of CX are 8 weeks old today, heaviest one tipped the scale at 6-4. I'm feeding them grower starter, and a scoop of scratch when I pull their feeder in the evening.

    First Run of Cornish Cross Meat Birds and Super Excited!

    New here, and new to raising these myself, 10 in the brooder on day 2. Feed question, does it need to be the same exact time every day to stop feeding them? I work 12 hour rotating shifts so mine may vary by a few hours.
