How do you know how much to feed by age? I am about to have 3 flocks ranging from day olds to two months to an 'elderly' flock...? Is it based on weight or age?
That is what I am most uncertain about because it's not the same as free feeding. I would prefer to put the dry food away and stop feeding every bird and small critter in the state!
Also, since they actually eat less, will they grow more slowly?
Thanks for all your help!
Last summer I fed FF to my cornish X and at 6 weeks they weighed between 7 & 8 pounds. So I would say that FF does not slow the growth rate. Everything I had read or was told said that they should have weighed between 5 & 6 pounds at 6 weeks.
