I have 26 Cornish X's that are 3 weeks old now. I am just wondering what is the best age to process? Also other things to make them more tastey? What age can you pull away the heat lamp?
A couple things I have started doing:
1) Started feeding 50% scratch to slow down their growth. Why...because it is still pretty hot here and I like there chances of surviving more as it starts to cool down.
2) The last 2 weeks I had planned on giving them 75% ground corn to make the meat taste sweeter.
3) We have been adding electrolyte mix in their water since we got them.
This is our first batch but we are doing great so far. Only 1 has died of "natural" causes.
Any advice will be appreciated!
