I raise about 300 CX every year in 3 separate batches. I have tried both mash and crumbles. For me, crumbles win. I raise to 53 days old each time. Average weight on mash was 5.34 pounds for a dressed bird. Average weight on crumbles was 7.29 pounds per dressed bird. All other conditions were exactly the same. Both feeds were 22% protien. And, crumbles flow through the feeders A LOT better.
