What to feed broilers

[cassie]

I fed mine broiler starter, grower, and finisher when I could get and turkey feed when I couldn't. Murray McMurray has a product called Broiler Booster. It is a supplement for meat birds. You add it to the water. I found it really helped to prevent the health problems the Cornish X are heir to. Personally, I would not try to raise broilers without it.

This year we started all our 7 batches of 30 broiler chicks on 22% Nutrena meatbird non medicated crumbles for the first 3 weeks. We then switched them over to a 21% ration we grind and mix ourselves. The chicks did fantastic on the Nutrena. The only death loss we experienced over the 7 batches was a small weak chick here and there that didn't handle shipping well and failed to thrive.
