Can I peek!?
Lol
I'm fermenting feed and LOVE it but trying to gather some solid numbers seems difficult :/ so using regular feed numbers and my FF numbers I have to get an idea helps.
Imma sponge for info and we have always had hiccups on New projects lol so all info is welcomed.
We want 8 weeks, we will probably do 10 weeks if successful with free range/FF building strong chicks.
My husband and I agreed if we physically see a broiler bite it- not due to obvious disease, we would process it immediately. :/ figuring a "flip" or "drop dead" is a heart attack making it safe to eat if processed AT time of death.
I hope not to lose any! Bahahhaa But it happens sooooo that's our thought. If "found" dead we wouldn't.
LOL @ on stand by. I love it !!!!!!!
I'm excited about your CX project. I found a feed comsumption table on yesterday, so I will study it to see how much I am looking at spending as far as feeding them for 8 weeks. If their weight is not up to my standards at 8 weeks, I may keep them around for 10 weeks instead of 8 weeks.
Question.. and this is for anyone who has raised broilers or CXs before. If your birds die before the process time, do you still process them anyway?
And is there really a difference between broilers and CXs besides the length of time they stay alive? The meat is pretty much the same right?
