Crowing
We have had 33 rangers for two and a half weeks now. These lil buggars are eatin us out of house and home nearly. Gah! We did cornishx in the spring and they didnt eat nearly this much (a bag and a lil over half of a 50lb feed)... and we only had five fewer birds then. I guess we were under the impression that these surely wouldn't eat anymore than the cornishx as far as crumble goes... were we wrong in thinkin this after readin tons of stuff on them? the cornishx only started usin pretty close to a bag of feed at round five or six weeks old. I know that they forage better so hopefully when they go into the tractor they will eat less..... and then (they are goin out tues because of bad weather this week end) they will be on the 12 on and 12 off feed schedule. But since these are so different from the crnish should we feed of a mornin and all they can eat for like 20 or so min then take away and again right before dusk? Or will the 12 on and 12 off be ok? Or are we missing something with these lil food mongers?
