Agressive flock

[GhostG]

Whoa. So I weigh our girl's food and they never eat all of it in a day, but 6 cups for 20 some odd chickens is really not enough. They should be getting 110-120g per chicken per day. I feed our girls about 110g/chicken/day and my chickens never finish, they always have leftover. We had a problem with a couple of our girls over eating, getting fat and dying before the year mark, so the vet recommended weighing, now I just like it because it helps me know when they aren't eating enough or are really hungry. 440g eyeballed looks like about 3.5 cups I would guess, and that is for 4 girls. If money for feed is the issue, they should probably start freezer camping/selling the extra roosters, that many roosters in one area is a recipe for disaster. I also hear that a lot of roosters go through a "crazy" stage initially before their hormones stabilize a bit at the yearish mark. They are basically primed to be extra big jerks, but even so, way, way too many cockerels in there.

Thanx, mebbe i can show them these answers n they will understand

Average box stall is 12x12.
Time to weed out the roosters no matter what- whether freezer camp or selling them as meat birds or trying to rehome.
