Now I have them what do I feed them

Thank you so much for all the information I will see what I can do with getting a different feed.

When I say dog kennel I mean a 10x30 actual chain link fence kennel. Designed to keep large mastiffs in. It does not have a top and could easily be dug under. We bring the dog in during the day and let the chickens and turkeys roam it during the day. My dog patrols the run and this area at night but the birds are kept up in the coop. We had a dog dig under the coop after I stupidly left the gate to the run open one night. Which is why she patrols this area at night. I could keep them in there during the day and put them up in the coop at night I guess. After all it will only be a couple of months before they are big enough to process. Do I put them on the same feeding schedule as I did my CX's? 12 on and 12 off?

I didn't do 12 on and 12 off vor my BBW. rather I let them walk a much as possible, putting them in a small pasture during the day to move and exercise. Nearer the end they were so big they hardly walked any more. (toms processed at 35#), then I didn't feel guilty about limiting their feed. Turkeys don't grow as fast for their size as the cornishX.
