Don't get discouraged,everybody has losses.It's part of mother natures way.If you are in Ohio your not that far from me.This isn't the best time to be raising them,it's probably the hardest.If they are inside the smell will be horrible,you really can't raise them inside they are more of a pastured poultry.I just finished up a batch a few weeks ago and it was a pain.I will never try it again after sept.I had better results in the hottest season here in NY.
They were developed to do 1 thing, produce more meat in less time than and other breed.(not an easy task to do,but they do it)Sure there is a little more risk with these,but not alot if your conditions are right.
One way to look at it is you are growing Quality chicken for your family.The same chicken people are selling for $3,$4 and even $5. a pound,you will not have no where's near that into it.Wait until the end before you figure what you have into them.$ for $ and lb. for lb.
For the future remember now is the worst/hardest time of year to be raising meat birds in our area. Will
