poults and cornish

[aclee]

If I raise Poults and Cornish together, can they eat the same food? I have the Cornish on Broiler Crumbles...

 

[mike67909]

yes but after 8 weeks switch the poulets to a grower finisher feed

ok, after the poults are 8 weeks, the cornish will be headed to camp anyway, so that should be easy enough...

 

[mike67909]

exactly

I am sure you have heard it before but I would throw out a word of caution for Black Head in your turkeys. Some folks say its all fine and they do turkeys and chickens together and some say they have lost turkeys to Black Head.

It depends on where you live, if blackhead disease is in your area then you should be able to find that out from your local extension office.

I don't really want to call anyone and ask any poultry questions since I'm pretty much illegal. Any idea if we have blackhead problems in MA?
