Small Cornish Cross

[StonyCreek214]

We are raising cornish cross for our 3rd year. With extreme weather (storms, unusual cold and heat) they have not done as well as previous years. Some are as small as 4lbs and we are at 8 weeks and have plans for buthering later in the week. Would it be safe to allow 24hr access to feed the last few days in the hopes to gain weight before butcher?

What are you feeding them and how long do you have feed out for them during the day? I fed mine broiler feed, and they had access to feed from seven in the morning until seven at night. I don't know if this helps.
