Pekins and total feed - how much?

[arthurpete]

Just a quick question on Pekins....

How much feed in lbs am i looking at for a Pekin at the end of 8 weeks? 12 weeks?

Whats the conversion ratio?

thanks

I didn't separate my Pekins out. They ate about the same as the other breeds but grew a lot faster.

Try Metzer's site. He might have conversion rates for his Pekins. I think that feed conversion is quite good, but I don't have exact numbers.

Good pekins have as good a feed conversion as cornishx.
