Packing Peanuts for Meat

[sweetshoplady]

I got 3 packing peanuts with my guinea order from Ideal. I plan on raising them for meat. Should I get them a chicken for meat food? Or is chick starter fine?

I'll get some pics up later of them. I don't know what breed they are.

If they end up being cornish X, you might want to separate them out and feed a broiler/grower after the first few weeks, but if they are not cornishX, then I'd raise them up same as the other chicks.

Since they are in with the guineas they are eating gamebird starter. Is that the same as broiler or comparable? I just got them yesterday and can separate the 3 of them if that would be best.

They are a reddish-yellowish brown solid color.

If you can post pics, someone might be able to tell you if they are cornish x's or not...well you will know soon enough if they are lol they will begin growing at a monstrous pace, eating everything in sight, pooping a lot, and stink to high heaven.


ETA I see that you posted the color; I don't think that cornish x's are that color as chicks (??)

There are Red and Black Broiler birds but the Cornish chicks are yellow...
