How did you feed them? i.e. i feed Cornish Cross free choice, 22% first 3 days, then 12 on/12 off at 22% until 3 weeks, then 12 on/12 off at 19% through finish. Thanks.

In reply to Amy. Thank you, Amy. I raise pastured chickens for market and am sure that study will provide some valuable information.

Thanks for writing this article. I’ve been researching this topic and found your article helpful.

Here is a study you might find interesting. It compares the costs to raise a variety of meat breeds including the Cornish cross and Freedom rangers. There were some problems during the study but it does provide some information on costs to raise the different breeds that isn’t available anywhere else.
