How quickly will the Cornish X's out grow the GQF box brooder + grow off pens? (GQF item# 0703)
Theoretically, they say you can keep up to 48 chicks in the brooder for 4 weeks, then divide them between the two grow off pens for another 4 weeks. I'm having a hard time imagining being able to raise even half that many broilers in that set up for their entire lives........(not that I would want to in good weather, but during the winter it would be nice to be able to raise them inside)
