This year ...we also raise Cornish-X for meat birds. This year we tried a Nutrena feed made just for meat chickens and had excellent results. They ate less and gained more weight than on our old Purina feed. Also the chickens had a lot less fat. When butchered at 6 weeks they averaged 4.75 lbs. as opposed to 8 weeks on Purina for same weight. We free ranged them during the day and free-fed commercial feed at night. The Nutrena feed cost a little more but they ate less so it was a lot more cost effective with better results. Also it can be fed right up to butcher and still have great tasting birds.
