Meaties, The sequel

[Hollow Point]

It's actually a pullet starter-grower made by Ful-o-pep Feed. It does say medicated the under the name brand and type. It's designed for growing layer chickens from day of hatch to 5 weeks. Don't think it will hurt them either way, but since they are going to be finished with the bag soon I will look for another type with 20% protien to give them a boost in growth. Not to highjack your thread, but here are mine that I will have had a week tomorrow

Hijack away. That is the way we learn. I will post pics of ours growth tomorrow.

Week 3: Coming along nicely... I am so ready for these poo factories to go outside.

Placed mine outside 3/18/13. This is a picture taken yesterday. I have had them 4 weeks on the 20th. Have not weighed them yet, but plan to soon.

They are looking nice. I will get pics of mine up this week. I have been so busy with other projects, I have neglected this thread. Mine are coming along nicely though.

Sorry I didn't keep this up to date. Life got really busy. Didn't have much of a chance to take pictures during the day.

They have been put in the freezer, and some in our belly.

Lost a few this time, and had no where near the growth I did with last years bunch.

Different factors:
1- Changed the feed I was using
2- Started earlier in the year and battled the cold weather all the way through processing (Our winter has been pretty rough in our area comparable to previous years)
3- They were more crowded in the tractor than the previous year
