This feeding schedule was developed for limit feeding Broiler Breeders(Cobb500). These would be the parents of the CX chicks you order, feed, and process at 8 weeks. It is the method I used to raise the best four(2 cockerels, 2 pullets) of my Murray McMurray Cornish Roaster chicks I ordered. Despite the fact I limit fed; the two cockerels died at puberty. I culled the heaver pullet after she kept laying double yolker eggs.
4 weeks

4 weeks

Cockerel @ 16 weeks

Pullets @ 16 weeks

At what weeks do the pullets start into a laying pattern? Since they have an amped up growth system.

Every bird is different. But most will be laying at 22 to 25 weeks. I depends on what time of year. They lay when 14-16 hours of light is available.
