Increasing meat bird weight

[cassie]

Ok, thanks! Has anybody tried feeding there meat birds turkey ration? I've heard people doing this with good results, but was wondering...

I fed mine broiler feed when I could get it and turkey feed when I couldn't. They did well on both. Mine grew fast and were nice and plump and very tasty. I started them out with turkey or broiler starter, changed to turkey or broiler grower, and at the end they got turkey or broiler finisher. I butchered most of mine when they were ten or eleven pounds dressed weight. I should have weighed them live but I didn't.

Alright.. I just weighed them and they weigh about high 5.6-5.9 lbs.
