Raising Grand Champions

[GuineaCrazy]

Hello,
This is my daughter's second year in 4-H, raising broilers. For her first year she did good, but trying to get pointers from people is like trying to get too secret information.

I know we need to be getting them up and moving frequently and raising the waterers as they grow, but are there other things we should be doing? Special feeds or diets they should be on? Any tip is appreciated.

We are a 4H family also. However, everything is going to depend on what the judge is looking for. Our fair changes judges yearly, so one year the judge will talk about a certain thing and the next year something totally different. If you have the same judge, just listen to what they are talking about during the judging. Some of them will hang around after and you can ask questions, which is nice.
