So my sister talked me into getting 3 eight week old cross breeds to raise for our own meat. Well we are now locked in and I start asking her questions to which she has no answers. Argh!!! lol
So I remembered this forum. And your experience and expertise.
First what do I feed them and in what? Do I need a trough? If so how do I make one? And how much do they eat?
Second how do we water them? My hubby says he thinks they need a special tube water thingy! I’m sure that’s the professional term.
We have a very nice place for them to sleep in and we will build a small fence for outside. But how much room is acceptable and do they eat grass?
Do I need a pool for them to bathe in?
Do I need to give minerals and vitamins?
I want these to be as healthy as can be for our family.
What are things I should look out for? They will be in a poll barn with caged chickens and free roaming cats. Also next to meat chickens in a month.
Thanks. I will no go searching on This forum for many of my questions. But just wanted to get this out first.
Thanks all!!
