Okay, I sent half my flock to be butchered & they were way smaller than expected. I have cornish rock x and they were 9 weeks old. I picked the biggest birds and I ended up with small breasts and an average 3 pound bird.
Should I have feed them some type of finishing feed---kind of like cows at the end to fatten them? I heard they would be done in 6 weeks. I knew at 6 weeks they were too small---heck even at 9 weeks they are not big. I fed them meat bird feed and added some fermented grains to their diet.
What did I do wrong???
thanks for any help
