This was my second time raising CX. My last batch got huge. By 8 weeks I had birds 6.5-8.5 lbs dressed (20-22% first 3 weeks then 18% for remaining weeks). While I was happy with the results in my freezer, I felt a little bad to see them having a hard time walking near the end, even though I...
2% I know 🤣
On a serious note, what is the difference?
I’m getting Jersey Giants that require 18% chick starter and I would find it easier to buy only one type of chick starter for all my chicks regardless if they’re Jersey Giants or not.
Right now I buy 20% chick starter for my chicks...
Is 16% designed more for commercial or more frequent layers? We feed Our bantams 16% but they are far from that, lol. No roosters, but our hens don’t lay as much and I was wondering if 18% protein would be better for them?
