I actually don't know,... I was just going over "what I thought" in my head. That doesn't make it true per say.
oh, ok. I saw on another thread here that scratch was good for fat to keep the meat a little more moist so it was good to add it in at times. I like to keep a little fat on my meat from the stores for that reason. I haven't been feeding the game bird feed yet because I didn't expect to eat them so soon. Until I did research the last few nights I thought I had to wait until they were about a year ( can't remember where I read that at). Obviously I still have a lot to learn! But eventually with all the help I get here I should get the hang of it at some point
I am hear to learn to, so don't take my word for it.
I think it kinda depends on what breed you will be processing what age you might aim for. But anything over a year is... only the breeders I am growing out for selecting best qualities. 4-6 months seems to be the average unless you're growing cornish cross which are 8 weeks.
