Will you sell them live or butchered?
I think when I am ready I will do late summer or fall, what are the draw backs to that idea? My thought is that it would be cooler when butchering came around.
Broilers have the best rate of gain and feed conversion when the temps are in the 70 deg range if that helps any. Really cold or hot and believe it or not the NN out performs them but it takes just a tad longer to get them to weight.
That is why I would like to do a NN x Malay to boost the size of the finished product and keep the heat/cold tolerance of the NNs.
How often do you guys butcher Les?
Oh the cochin roo is alot better, have him outside in a small cage & due to treating the coop I put his girl in with him & he instantly tried to mount her. LOL.
