So i have 25 White Rock Cornish X.
They are 6 weeks 2 days old.
They have been in the tractor since just before 3 weeks.
Its 8x8 (64 sq feet) moved twice a day.
All organic feed.
Havent lost any. Although they are ugly and a few are still not feathers out on butts and body.
One did not move today when I moved the tractor, so I let him eat on the lawn, and gave him food and water as he lay there. When I came back an hour later he had moved the 3 feet so he was beside the tractor, so he can move- just wont be able to fight for food. So I will keep an eye out and give him food each day. Processing is 11 days away still.
Any ideas to help this bird make the processing date? I could separate him in a foldable brooder...just a PITA. thoughts? Can they hobble around for as long as 2 weeks like that?
