If you're going to raise CX birds for meat, I'd suggest working with a Ross 708 or Cobb 500 strain. Feed them an 18% protein broiler mix from beginning to end. When you setup your brooder, separate feed, water and heat as far apart as you can get them. I feed mine twice a day and give them a few meal worms starting on day 2 in the brooder to keep them active. Mine stay in the brooder 3 weeks and then move to portable shelters and get fresh grass every day and sometimes twice a day. I adjust their feed amount weekly. I like my results best if I feed what they can eat in 45 minutes twice per day. After 35 days on grass, they go to the freezer.
