I raised 25 of them. The chick starter was 20% protein. I used a lot of scratch, also (cracked corn, whole oats, wild bird seed) and they were allowed to run around the farm all day. I dont use chicken tractors, I just let them ransack the whole barn.

The 80 cent special was straight run. Looked like I ended up pretty close to 50/50 girls and boys.

I do too. Ill probably do some more this year, I hope these will last me to this fall. I am just amazed at the size of the breasts on these things. Im all about white meat, so these birds are perfect for me. Im taking a little break, I have one more to do today. I did 6 today. Very quick...

Quote: I had them shipped to me.

They think they are real chickens, and I havent told them any different.

I took advantage of Meyers 80 cent Cornish X special, and here they are at 6 weeks 4 days. I havent weighed them, but they are like picking up little bowling balls. They are just the most entertaining birds. They are to the point now where they lay down more than they run around,but when I...
