Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Our airfryer is small so decided with James to still use the oven on them having two they do nothing but lay on the sides.

How long did it take please?

30-40 minutes at 375°. Mine fits 2 in and I think it took around 45 but they were bigger. Cook breast down to start and flip halfway

Finished the Thanksgiving meal in time to watch some football. The grandkids helped me do the three week weigh-in of the chicks. They've all more than doubled in weight over the last seven days. They're getting so big I'm thinking about putting some pellets in the brooder to see if they'll start eating them.

And Happy Thanksgiving!

I think if your pellets are flock raiser or all flock, it should be fine. The chicks that are raised by our hens make the switch rather early. I put the chick feed out but they move on. When I'm raising them, I stay with chick feed until they integrate. For this reason I generally use flock raiser all the time. I've never had shell problems, so I don't see the need for the layer pellets. Never had productive issues, except for the leghorns and I think that is a cancer issue.

IDK...we all make our best guess. My hens live to be old, so I must be doing something right. Except for the leghorns.
