These Cornish Giants are getting HUGE, and they're only 3 weeks old. Their butts almost drag on the floor.

Are you limiting the feed?

Are you limiting the feed?

No. Not sure how I'd even do that. We leave for work at 0530 and get back around 0430. If you want them to sleep with a full crop, at best they'd only have 2 hours without food.

You work 23 hour days?


If you do not limit feed your birds could well start dying in 2 weeks or so.

I meant 1630. My only options are take the food in for 2 hours in the afternoon, for what little good that does, or take it in all day.

I feed 2x a day
can you feed them in the morning before you leave and when you get home?

Give them enough to last them 20 minutes in the morning and the same in the evening. That is all they need.
