RE: How Many DIED The First Week? (Raising Meat Chicks)

in ecoTrain5 years ago

The big thing about Cross-X is they die from a heartattack near adulthood.

One person says he got a much lower death rate when he withheld feed.

Don't just leave them all the food. (they will eat and eat and eat)
So, you feed them like three times a day, enough for them to eat for a few hours, then have a few hours where they have to run and scratch and forage.
