Congrats!! No better feeling in the world eh?

Our first batch we kept for 6 weeks, though some could have been done at 4 or 5. Thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out now :) :) XO!

Wow, 6 weeks is quick. What sort of breed/variety are they? What sort of weight do you achieve after 6 weeks?

They are broilers, and we had a friggin 5+ pounder the last time!!

That's big!! What sort of feed do you give them?

It's just broiler grower, we give them the crumbles version.

I've used pellets so far. Maybe I'll try the crumble next time.

Ooh wow, even when they were newborns they can eat the pellets?

We give them chick crumbs for the first couple of weeks, then transition to pellets.

Ahh I gotchya, yea the pellets are definitely less messy!
