Bee, My chicks do not look like yours in this picture! Yours have feathers on their bodies, mine are featherless, except for their wings. I will try to get some pictures tomorrow. Your picture does look like the size of my Cornish XRocks and the layers I hatched 2 weeks before the broilers...

I have raised the Cornish crosses too, but from other hatcheries, and kept them for over a year. I would go out and process them as needed. I have 1 pair over a year old, but the hen isn't laying right now. Molting. This breed from Meyers are naked, except for some feathers on the wings. No...

It isn't so much their weight that bothers me as it is the fact that they are BALD, except for wing feathers and they are in a barn without excess to electric. They have no protection from the cold with their little necked butts! How old were yours when they got feathers?

Mine are just at 4 weeks so I guess they have about 10 weeks to go then. I'll be looking at early to mid January. I hope they get some feathers soon to cover their necked little butts so they don't freeze. LOL They really look bald!

When did yours get their feathering to cover their bald little bodies? They look like they would be cold , but they are running around like little road runners, very lively, but do huddle in groups at night.

I am raising CornishX broilers from Meyers special. They arrived on Oct 12th. I put them on dry 22% game bird feed to start with because that was the closest the feed store had to Broiler feed. I brooded them in a spare bathroom, where I brood Turkey poults, which has a dehumidifier and heater...

When my brother took some rescue horses that were in very poor health, he built them up on a 16% protein horse feed with molasses, as I remember !

Does Sweet 16 have molasses in it?

On the rabbit thread, a breeder just lost a humpteendozen or maybe it was a gazillion of his meat rabbits, because of bloat he and the other rabbit people say is being caused by the increasing amount of corn Purina and other feed companies are putting into rabbit feeds! I do not see any signs...

I am using Race horse Oats, The flocks love it and it really swells and increases in size, so I am letting it soak overnight and feeding in the am and pm and then adding back to the bucket.

I can see why you use them at that price! Do you have rabbits too?

I have always raised my extra duel purpose roos for meat and the birds you raise at home always taste better than the ones in the grocery stores. There are just no comparison. I hope the FF improves the taste even more.

All of my birds, Turkeys, Chickens, geese and ducks love Rabbit feed, but rabbit feed cost the most around here. Over $18. a bag plus 9% tax, so only the rabbits get it. Rabbits can't eat corn or feeds containing it or they will get Bloat and die.

Well guys, I went out day before yesterday to see this white growth on the top, fearing mold, I tossed it out. I replaced it with corn, mixed grain, oats and Gamebird/Turkey grower crumbles, in the same proportions and a hand full of BOSS thrown in. I added a can of beer and fulled the bucket...

If not beer, then could I use any old vinegar, with a mother in it, or does it have to have apples, too?

If I do not have ACV, can I use beer?

I bought a cheap plastic one at dollar tree, but it works and I like cheap prices! LOL

Very interesting !!!!!
