I appreciate the effort, please take your time, but don't forget to post the links when you get the chance. I'd email you privately, but everyone on this forum has the chance to educate themselves, right?



I would like to know what strain of broilers you are raising. We only grew one type one I was a kid, and their legs were horribly inadequate to sustain their weight, and ended up waddling/flopping around by the time they were 5 weeks. All of our fowl were free range, but we were forced to pen our broilers in the last few weeks before "harvest" because predators were picking them off too easily....broad daylight even!
