Hi, I'm new here but I have been lurking around reading posts.
I have 25 cornish rock roosters coming next week and I really want them to grow up nice and big and juicy... I've looked all over these boards to find the suggestions, but I haven't found a topic like this. Welps says to withhold food for 12 hours each night. Do they need vitamins?
Are there any special tricks that I should know? I am concerned that we will need more feeder space and waterer space.
We currently have 27 chickens, one of which is a 6 week old Jumbo Cornish from McMurray. She just moves between her resting spot and the food. I think she weighs about 3 pounds now. I call her Miss Piggy. All our chickens are contained (not free range) though I move the coop from time to time so they can eat grass and bugs.
Thanks for your help!
