my meaties are 7 1/2 weeks old, and 20 of them are eating a 50lb bag of food every 5 or 6 days... and a lot of grass, and drinking a lot of water... it's free choice for 12 hours, and none for 12 hours. anyway, my smallest meatie is having a hard time walking, one of her legs looks like it's attached wrong, maybe too far out to the side? anyway, should I cull her now, or is she likely to make it another week and a half? We've got a 'date' on the 16th. We lost one to the heat today, and all the others pecked all the feathers off in the hour or two before I noticed. gross. I swear, I'm never doing meat birds again.
