I have found, and I know this is antidotal, the more feed you give them the more poop you make.

I think it is like vitamins in humans when you take more than you can use and the body can absorb you just pass it through.

To a certain degree CX are like that. They have such an unbelievable metabolism and make such good use of the feed they do not need as much as a person thinks. So a ton passes through.

Also with more feed you get so many ailments. However, I should note I do not try to get a meat bird in 6 weeks. I like to go longer for a bigger stronger bird that does not have that "mushy" texture a store bought one has.

I did the first batch I got like the "directions" say and was extremely displeased with them, dying weak birds I had to process at 42 days as they were dying of ascites, heart and kidney problems.
