ok I am raising some meat birds and boy are they hungry (or greedy really)
has anyone here got experience with this particular bird?
I heard that I should give them a 12 hour fast at 4 weeks,
but they sure eat heavily at only 2 weeks
what would you recommend as a feeding schedule so they don't go and give themselves heart attacks by overeating...
(I think I will go with a more natural breed next time...
I was for the first 2 weeks just refilling the food bins whenever I saw they were low,
but now I am thinking about putting them on a schedule so they literally don't hurt themselves...
any pointers I would appreciate, thanks...
