I will be getting 25 cornish cross from TSC on Monday or Tuesday. The guy in there told me to start out with 24% chick starter then go to 22% starter then to 15% finsher is this right?
There is no need for the finisher. We sell and feed the Homestead brand Fast Grow that is designed to be a one feed for the entire feeding period. I usually recommend one bag of Turkey Starter per 50 birds then go to the Fast Grow.
Ya I would start them on a 24 % and then finish them on a 22% if that is what you have. Be carfull and not to use a starter with amproleum (sp) as this is meds for coccidiosis. Get non medicated if your going to finish them with the starter.
I put mine on regular non medicated chick starter for the first 4 weeks, then I switch to gamebird (higher protien) for the final four weeks. I have never had leg problems or any of that...
