grannys gone and done it

[lindalouly]

I didnt feed them as high a protein as recommended , they went fer longer

Some says feed em 24 hrs until you see the first sign of splay leg, then do the 12 on/off schedule

Ohhh I don't think I can have them and see them all weird and stuff....

 

[Granny Hatchet]

They have like 8 pens

To keep making the crosses

takes a few crosses to get em

so it could be toned down a little ?

You don't really save money, they are like having chickens for eggs. You do it because they taste better than the store bought birds & you know how they're living before you eat them.

People i got mines from, I traded them some Raw milk fer. LOL

They get thier feed custom milled and save A TON

High protein feed & lots of it. We butchered at 8 weeks old. Hens were 5-6# & roo's 8-10 #'s. Can't even fathom how they can get that big so fast. You do have to take their feed up for night or they will eat themselves to death, no joking

Good Lord really? Even at night they'd eat?

They will eat every minute of every day if you let them. Their hearts literally explode if food isn't regulated. Plus their legs break.

Oh and granny it can be toned down

Depending on how much ya feed em

 

[rIrs roost]

they are like a dollar each from Schledt hatchery (SP)

Purely poultry has good deals too

Have you ever figured how much one would eat in its life to see how much it cost you? I may raise a few if it save money. Just trying to see if it's worth it.
