we had large amounts of fat on our fast growing broiler pullets and we want to cut the fat down, how can we do that? slower growing? cut off about a week for production. (instead of 6wks make it 4wks) any ideas?

There isn't really a broiler or roaster that is slow growing, they are all bred to peak in a very limited time frame. Try a different diet next time around. The best feed would be a broiler booster, fed from the time you get them until you butcher them. No corn, it is pure fat. Also, you need to butcher them before they "fall". If a broiler gets to old, they will eventually either break a leg or get too weak to carry themselves and therefore they will sit and not get up (the broiler booster will help with this though). When this begins, gangrene starts to set in. Also, try a different breed. I've heard good things about the Jumbo Cornish Rock cross.

i could think of it could rely on the way you probably did it/ how some distance you narrow back the beak back. some procedures can stop boost, yet some do not. Beaks proceed to enhance, they are extra like nails than tooth and that they are worn down via pecking, from my expierience (I as quickly as had a chicken with an overgrown beak that we had to trim, and it saved growing to be).
