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.

Does anybody have a feeding regimen that is breeding/showing quality friendly?

They still do a lot of laying around with bouts of play fighting and flight.
