I am doing an experiment with a few heritage chicks I bought. They are from a hatchery, so i know that they will be on the small end. I am planning on caponizing them at some point this week. I have a time until I need to worry about finishing them. I was wondering what some of you do to finish bringing the weight up before slaughter. I seen a post somewhere about caging and feeding corn and raw milk, currently I am feeding them starter/ grower 20% protein. They are all between ages of 3-5 weeks old. Breeds are wyandotte, delaware, and a few sex links. My end goal is to hatch our own eggs for meat in the next few years. Right now just experimenting with different flavors/breeds. Any other suggestions or advise would be appreciated.
