I found very useful tips and an excellent week by week guide to raising these birds. Good info on making a chicken tractor as well. I found this far more useful than I expected. The feed advice and week by week amount information has proven to work well, as I am 41 days along with my first batch. So glad I added this on to my order, Only wish I could have received it prior to chick arrival.
