I give my meaties (cornish x) fermented turkey starter which is 28% protein, for weeks 5-8. They really pack on the weight and if anybody hasn't been processed by 8wks they are switched to whatever my layers are eating. If these were chickens that you were going to keep around then you wouldn't want to give them that much protein, but I'm on round two of using this method and have gotten some decent sized (and really tasty) birds.
