They are Cornish Cross. These are basic meat birds that everybody raises. I have been working on making my process better over the last 3 of 4 years, is all.

Feed is "Payback" brand, turkey and pheasant starter is 27%, then I move them over to all purpose, 19%.

These are raised in movable pens. 8'x8'x2' PVC pens.


You can start out with 25-30 birds per 8x8 pen when they are small. You will need to move the pen daily, and as they grow you need to reduce the amount of birds in the pen. They start out in a brooder, then at 3-4 weeks, depending on weather, they go outside.

The pens create a swath of destruction.

But the following year it is the greenest part of your lawn.
