How To Get Chicks Off To A Strong Start Part 1
Ever wondered about the tiny details that can make or break the first week in a chick's life? Whether you're a poultry aficionado or just getting your feet wet, our chat with poultry guru Jeff Mattocks is a must-listen. Together, we delve into the fascinating world of baby chicks, highlighting the necessity of close monitoring in the first week. Jeff explains how a chick's body weight increasing three to four times can offer valuable insights about their health. We also offer useful tips and share industry practices on how to ensure your chicks start strong, impacting their future performance.
Moving on, we shift the spotlight onto feeding chicks within their first 14 days. Did you know that the type of feed you offer your chicks can greatly affect their development and health? We discuss the benefits of using crumbles or mash as a starter feed and why you should steer clear of medicated feed. We also address concerns regarding feed particle size and choking, offering practical advice on moderating a chick's eating pace. Join us as we stress the importance of a balanced and appropriate diet for your chicks' healthy growth. This episode is a treasure trove of advice and insights that anyone interested in poultry keeping should not miss out on.

00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:01.703
Hi there, I'm Rip Stalvin.
00:00:01.703 --> 00:00:04.551
I want to welcome you to another Poultry Keepers podcast.
00:00:04.551 --> 00:00:06.483
Are you raising chicks now?
00:00:06.483 --> 00:00:08.631
Are you going to be raising chicks in the future?
00:00:08.631 --> 00:00:16.153
Well, if you answer yes to either of these questions, then this podcast will help you get your chicks off to a very strong starting life.
00:00:16.153 --> 00:00:28.692
This is part one of a two part series from one of our most popular poultry keepers 360 live streams we have done so far, so get ready for some really great content, because here we go.
00:00:28.692 --> 00:00:42.067
Welcome to another poultry keeper 360 live.
00:00:42.067 --> 00:00:52.619
We've got a really good show coming up for you because we're going to share with you how you can give your baby chicks a strong start so they can reach their full genetic potential later in life.
00:00:52.619 --> 00:01:03.051
I know you're wondering what you can do to ensure your chicks get that strong start they need, so Jeff Maddox is going to share with us exactly what we need to do to help them succeed.
00:01:03.051 --> 00:01:03.993
Jeff, take it all.
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.983
Thanks, rip.
00:01:05.983 --> 00:01:13.626
I'm not sure I'm going to share everything they need to know, but we're going to get some high points of, I think, things that we're often neglected.
00:01:13.626 --> 00:01:23.280
You need to understand that every infant doesn't matter whether it's human or other requires extra attention in the beginning of his life.
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.593
So the chicks are actually no different than this.
00:01:26.593 --> 00:01:33.132
I think a lot of people fail to understand actually what's happening in that first two weeks or that first 14 days.
00:01:33.132 --> 00:01:42.540
But as soon as that chick pops out and we've got a couple of links for you that we're going to share and I you know, hopefully you'll go look at them, read them, things like that.
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:52.198
But you know I'm referencing the Hubbard Breeder website as far as managing and leering specialty chicks.
00:01:52.198 --> 00:02:00.239
Premium chicks, you know and Hubbard starts right out with premium chicks need special attention the first week of life because they're different genetic characteristics.
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.200
Okay, this is coming right out of large scale Breeder World data.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.353
They're telling people extra attention first week.
00:02:07.353 --> 00:02:10.024
Extra attention first week, all right.
00:02:10.024 --> 00:02:24.694
First week of life is key to ensure future performance and I want to reiterate that the first week of life is a key to ensure what that bird's going to turn out like.
00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:29.349
I see a lot of birds that don't get the right attention.
00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:36.528
When they're, you know, day olds in that first week, you know they're just kind of throw them in a pan live or die.
00:02:36.528 --> 00:02:46.921
Here's your food and water and that body weight actually increases three to four times in that first week from when that chick is hatched, or should, right?
00:02:46.921 --> 00:02:52.032
So how many people are actually weighing your chicks when they come out of the hatcher?
00:02:52.032 --> 00:02:54.985
You know, don't raise your hand, caring probably is.
00:02:55.206 --> 00:03:03.474
So yeah, we do have hitting, but you know, knowing that weight and monitoring that weight, and you know we did that weighing thing earlier.
00:03:03.474 --> 00:03:04.719
We haven't talked about it a whole lot since.
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:12.754
I don't know where we're at with it, but weighing the birds throughout their life, and you know the industry does this.
00:03:12.754 --> 00:03:14.159
They do it on a larger scale.
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:26.000
They're weighing the birds every seven days and you know so they're tracking that progress and once they have benchmarks and they know where that bird's supposed to be at day seven and day 14, day 21,.
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:26.080
Etc.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.068
That can tell if there's an issue or if there's not an issue.
00:03:30.068 --> 00:03:35.180
So they're, they're using those again as benchmarks to know if they're doing it right.
00:03:36.302 --> 00:03:38.408
Jeff, if I could just interject something here.
00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:47.054
Sure, and when I first got started in exhibition poultry, you know if there was a mistake to be made, I probably made it at least twice.
00:03:47.054 --> 00:03:50.319
But what Jeff is saying is absolutely right.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.829
It's paying attention to the small details and it's doing what Karen does.
00:03:55.829 --> 00:03:56.971
Weigh those baby chicks.
00:03:56.971 --> 00:03:58.433
You can't.
00:03:58.433 --> 00:04:04.395
You can't give them too much attention, as my philosophy, but you don't want to smother them at the same time.
00:04:04.395 --> 00:04:06.819
You want to let chickens be chickens.
00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:11.128
Make it as natural for them as you possibly can, but pay attention to the detail.
00:04:11.128 --> 00:04:13.281
Sorry to get carried away, Jeff.
00:04:13.281 --> 00:04:15.860
No, no, I got a question too.
00:04:16.482 --> 00:04:16.622
Okay.
00:04:16.802 --> 00:04:18.266
So we're talking first seven days.
00:04:18.266 --> 00:04:22.658
Can we talk a little bit about the whole chip chicks thing?
00:04:22.658 --> 00:04:25.567
Like you know, chicks can go three days without eating.
00:04:25.567 --> 00:04:28.254
But that's not ideal, is it?
00:04:28.254 --> 00:04:34.163
I mean, we wait to feed them till they're three days old so that they can absorb their yolk.
00:04:34.444 --> 00:04:35.875
Yeah, I mean, we really shouldn't do that.
00:04:35.875 --> 00:04:47.567
You know, and one of the points down below is actually feeding them within six to 12 hours after hatch stimulates the development of the chicks gastrointestinal system, right?
00:04:47.567 --> 00:04:52.206
So the sooner you can feed them, the healthier they're actually gonna be.
00:04:53.007 --> 00:04:54.860
And it stimulates.
00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:04.790
No, I was just gonna say I saw one study where they're actually feeding chick in the incubator before they ever pull from the incubator to go to the breeder.
00:05:05.855 --> 00:05:16.355
Yeah, I mean the sooner you can get them on feed the better, you know, because that early that first feed is what's gonna stimulate that reabsorption and promotes the reabsorption of the yolk.
00:05:16.355 --> 00:05:36.146
So the faster that yolk actually reabsorbs once it finds feed and it feels more secure, so it can reabsorb that yolk much faster instead of being five to seven days or three to five days depending on the bird, right, but that all goes into weight and growth and development.
00:05:36.146 --> 00:05:39.935
So again, the faster you can get them on feed, the better off we're gonna be.
00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:48.192
And you know the industry's hoping to get them on feed within the first six to 12 hours, right, so they're hatching them, they're driving them like crazy to.
00:05:48.192 --> 00:05:48.894
You know, they're farming them.
00:05:48.894 --> 00:05:51.019
They're farming wherever they're gonna be.
00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:52.343
They get them out.
00:05:52.343 --> 00:05:57.341
Their feed and water is already in place and there's feed and water everywhere.
00:05:57.341 --> 00:05:59.386
Gary, you gotta where's that pan?
00:05:59.386 --> 00:05:59.867
That's for sure.
00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:04.894
That's not for sure, but yeah, which one did you want?
00:06:05.939 --> 00:06:09.050
Oh, that battery breeder where they had the feed pan on the floor.
00:06:09.050 --> 00:06:18.209
Yeah, so you literally want at least 50% of the floor space where the chicks are gonna be to be covered in feed.
00:06:18.209 --> 00:06:20.935
Now you can use pans like this, which is great.
00:06:20.935 --> 00:06:28.935
A lot of folks don't have the pan, so they actually put down brown craft paper like the nursery bag paper sacks the brown.
00:06:28.935 --> 00:06:31.079
You want it unfinished.
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.526
You don't want, you know, you don't want to slick side to it, because you can.
00:06:35.526 --> 00:06:37.488
Actually the birds can slip on it.
00:06:37.488 --> 00:06:38.971
It can.
00:06:38.971 --> 00:06:40.935
You know, pop the tent out of the back joint.
00:06:40.935 --> 00:06:42.742
You've just lost a valuable chick.
00:06:43.425 --> 00:06:45.915
But you're spreading feed out all over the place.
00:06:45.915 --> 00:06:53.889
Typically, we'll put the feeders that they're going to be eating in the middle of that paper and scatter feed around it.
00:06:53.889 --> 00:06:59.915
But we don't really want them to have access to bedding, we don't really want them to have access to the ground.
00:06:59.915 --> 00:07:08.935
You know we need them to be somewhat of a protective environment that first two to three days and we want to make sure that they've gotten something to eat.
00:07:08.935 --> 00:07:13.586
So everywhere they walk, they're either bumping into water or they're bumping into feed.
00:07:13.586 --> 00:07:16.401
And yeah, yes, sir.
00:07:17.264 --> 00:07:20.915
How soon should they introduce grit to the chick?
00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.935
I usually tell people day three because the chick doesn't really know what it is.
00:07:24.935 --> 00:07:30.444
So I want to get the crop in the gizzard full and quick as I can.
00:07:30.444 --> 00:07:36.935
You know, and do we have that gizzard or that crop picture that ripped?
00:07:36.935 --> 00:07:38.257
Did you pick one out?
00:07:38.257 --> 00:07:51.935
Hopefully after tonight folks will be looking at crop fill and within that first eight hours after the birds placed, you want to go in there and you want to look and it looks like they kind of swallowed a marble.
00:07:51.935 --> 00:07:54.935
Okay, and you can see the difference in these two chicks.
00:07:54.935 --> 00:08:11.100
You want at least 80% of those chicks to have their crops filled within that first eight hours and after 24 hours you're looking for a 96, 95, 96% crop fill, so that crop being full.
00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:16.894
The sooner again we're back to, the sooner they find feed, the sooner they get that crop going.
00:08:16.894 --> 00:08:19.740
This actually sets their appetite for life.
00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:24.389
You know how much they're going to want to eat and how frequently and all that.
00:08:24.389 --> 00:08:31.336
But the sooner we get food in their system and the sooner we get them growing, the healthier they're going to be Right.
00:08:31.396 --> 00:08:45.056
So in that first week we're looking at, I mean that first week is going to set like the skeletal, the physiology, the immunity, everything that's going to happen in that bird.
00:08:45.056 --> 00:08:50.000
We're basically setting the blueprint for the entire life of that bird.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.322
So being in control and this goes a lot.
00:08:54.322 --> 00:08:58.976
This goes really good with our conversation about hatching eggs, buying chicks, buying birds.
00:08:58.976 --> 00:09:01.552
We don't know what happens.
00:09:01.552 --> 00:09:09.120
Two weeks ago, when we had that conversation, we don't know how that bird was treated in that first 14 days.
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.278
So something's out of our control, hitting.
00:09:13.278 --> 00:09:34.399
And what I'm alluding to is, if it's not done right, the first 14 days we're going to see in maturity, we're going to see deficiencies in that bird that are responsible as far back as that first week of life and it's Let me throw this up here yeah, go ahead.
00:09:35.129 --> 00:09:44.254
I know some of the folks in the exhibition world seem to think that they can take birds that didn't get this good start we're talking about.
00:09:44.254 --> 00:09:51.734
But they can correct all of that in the conditioning coop just before a show and that's not possible.
00:09:51.734 --> 00:10:00.779
If you don't set it right the first seven to 14 days, you can't make it up, you can't overcome what you've lost.
00:10:01.845 --> 00:10:06.533
That's very true, pat, and I agree with you on this, shantron and I mean.
00:10:06.533 --> 00:10:19.602
We have generations of birds out there that may not have been raised right in that first 14 days and people, through selection and breeding and other things, have overcome that.
00:10:19.602 --> 00:10:30.219
I'm just curious this may even go to a current situation, because I know that she is taking good care of her chicks is her genetics?
00:10:30.219 --> 00:10:33.899
Now she's complaining about having overweight birds.
00:10:33.899 --> 00:10:37.499
Right, all of her birds are bigger than the standard.
00:10:37.499 --> 00:11:22.259
Well, the person that she got the breeding stock from 10 years ago may not have been taking care of that was birds correctly, so when she bought them they might have been in the standards the weights of the standards Now being fed better, being managed better, being taken the whole bit all the way through, or she and the true genetic potential and that's actually my biggest fear for the people that are listening or going to watch this later is you may end up seeing things in your breed and you may hate me when this is all said and done, because now you're going to bring out more of the real attributes that this genetic line that you have is there.
00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:32.451
So just know that there might be a skeleton in the closet that we don't know about, and it may show up For some of you.
00:11:32.451 --> 00:11:43.395
I'm sorry if that happens, but our job is to raise the healthiest birds as quick as we can day one and see what their true genetic potential is.
00:11:43.395 --> 00:11:56.972
So some things may show up, and whether it's there too, I kind of get a kick out of like on the Facebook page for poultry keepers and culture, breeder nutrition and so on.
00:11:57.594 --> 00:11:59.860
People refer to they grow too fast.
00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:03.697
There really is no such thing as growing too fast.
00:12:03.697 --> 00:12:06.755
It's the genetic potential of the bird.
00:12:06.755 --> 00:12:15.244
Give them good feed, give them what they want from day one to about six months of age.
00:12:15.244 --> 00:12:17.495
There shouldn't be any feed restriction.
00:12:17.495 --> 00:12:21.538
That bird is still growing and developing for that first six months.
00:12:21.538 --> 00:12:25.019
So what you get is what the true genetics are.
00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:26.936
Now, you don't like what you got.
00:12:26.936 --> 00:12:29.714
I'm sorry, but that's what you got.
00:12:30.154 --> 00:12:33.082
So then Well, you got it.
00:12:33.082 --> 00:12:34.149
You have to know what you have.
00:12:34.149 --> 00:12:37.059
I mean you can't call something that hidden under there.
00:12:37.059 --> 00:12:41.221
So I mean bringing everything out into the open is necessary.
00:12:41.751 --> 00:12:48.023
Yeah, but I mean now you're selecting for smaller birds to get them back into the standard, Right?
00:12:48.023 --> 00:12:50.826
I mean, there's really nothing wrong with it.
00:12:50.826 --> 00:13:08.379
According to the standard, there's something wrong with your birds, but for somebody who wanted to use them in a real-world situation as egg layers, dual purpose for meat and other things, there's nothing wrong with the breed strain that you have being slightly overweight.
00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:10.575
It's just the person before you.
00:13:10.575 --> 00:13:13.964
That's what they selected for and that's where we're at and that's fine.
00:13:15.835 --> 00:13:16.517
Talk me into that.
00:13:16.517 --> 00:13:19.033
They're going to be more productive when they're smaller.
00:13:19.053 --> 00:13:22.660
Sure they're going to be more eggs, right I'm confident we're going to make them.
00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:23.903
I'm not, but that's okay.
00:13:27.118 --> 00:13:30.432
In 10 years I'll get back to you, I mean how many eggs eat.
00:13:30.472 --> 00:13:31.254
What's your average eggs?
00:13:31.254 --> 00:13:32.155
I don't know.
00:13:32.155 --> 00:13:35.261
Okay, yeah, all right, see how you are Okay.
00:13:36.750 --> 00:13:38.154
Well, just each bird has their own.
00:13:38.154 --> 00:13:39.619
It's too complicated, so yeah.
00:13:40.671 --> 00:13:51.277
Now, when the show's over, karen, is there a way to plop up these show notes at the end so people can come back and reference them or not, or they're just going to have to keep replaying the video.
00:13:51.629 --> 00:13:55.339
Rip can upload the document to the Facebook group.
00:13:55.339 --> 00:13:55.700
Right yeah.
00:13:57.732 --> 00:14:06.611
All those documents we're going to talk about tonight have been uploaded to the Polkare Keepers 365 section on our Facebook group, so you can go down.
00:14:06.611 --> 00:14:09.179
You can go there and download them as PDF.
00:14:10.312 --> 00:14:18.777
They're ready to rock and roll whenever you want them All right, and I think he wants this one too, the one that's called Show Notes 10422.
00:14:18.856 --> 00:14:19.136
Okay.
00:14:19.317 --> 00:14:19.977
Not 100.
00:14:19.977 --> 00:14:20.698
Yeah, uh-huh.
00:14:20.778 --> 00:14:21.139
I can do it.
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:22.240
It's giving me a hard time.
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.464
Yep, all right.
00:14:24.464 --> 00:14:25.804
So let's talk about feed.
00:14:25.804 --> 00:14:40.000
In that first 14 days, the breeder hybrid breeders tells you to start out on a crumble because you have a more uniform piece in part, and so there's not going to be as much diet selection, you know, sorting, et cetera.
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.202
That's fine.
00:14:41.202 --> 00:14:45.460
You can also do it with a mash, as long as it's a uniform particle-sized mash.
00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:51.418
There's no reason why you can't do that, and whichever way you want to go is fine.
00:14:51.418 --> 00:14:53.096
I'm not going to take sides here.
00:14:53.610 --> 00:14:53.890
You know.
00:14:53.910 --> 00:14:58.501
If it's easier for you to go buy a bag of chick starter crumbles, do that.
00:14:58.501 --> 00:14:59.956
Please, don't get medicated.
00:14:59.956 --> 00:15:01.874
People don't understand that.
00:15:01.874 --> 00:15:19.881
That medicated feed is actually and proleum is blocking thiamine, which is a B vitamin, so it's a thiamine inhibitor and you're not really helping your chick out and there's really no need, you know, to be fighting something that you don't have Right.
00:15:19.881 --> 00:15:22.917
All you're trying to do is prevent them from getting coccidiosis.
00:15:22.917 --> 00:15:25.176
There's other methods for doing that.
00:15:25.176 --> 00:15:28.698
A non-medicated chick starter is going to work just fine.
00:15:28.698 --> 00:15:31.836
So is there any questions at this point?
00:15:31.836 --> 00:15:33.014
Do you got that picture of that feed?
00:15:33.014 --> 00:15:35.796
People are going to lose their mind when they see this picture.
00:15:35.796 --> 00:15:36.116
So All right.
00:15:40.546 --> 00:15:42.556
There you go All right folks.
00:15:42.755 --> 00:15:44.813
You see that that's actually a chick starter.
00:15:44.813 --> 00:15:47.716
Okay, now I'm not going to argue with you.
00:15:47.716 --> 00:15:51.860
I'm telling you this person, this is real feed, real world.
00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:55.357
These people are using this from day one through finish.
00:15:55.357 --> 00:16:00.221
The chicks will not eat pieces that they're not capable of swallowing.
00:16:00.221 --> 00:16:11.817
So if there's going to be a few pieces of whole corn left in the feeder eventually and that's perfectly fine, you know you can throw away a few pieces of whole corn.
00:16:11.817 --> 00:16:13.916
You can take it out to your adult birds.
00:16:13.916 --> 00:16:15.014
They're going to love you for it.
00:16:15.014 --> 00:16:16.217
It doesn't matter.
00:16:16.217 --> 00:16:19.337
But good, chunky course.
00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:28.860
You know you really want the bird eating the biggest particle size that it can get down its throat and into its crop and down into the gizzard.
00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:31.450
It's going to stimulate better gizzard function.
00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:34.118
It's going to get the gizzard working harder earlier.
00:16:34.118 --> 00:16:37.479
Then those birds are going to be fine.
00:16:37.479 --> 00:16:43.263
And there's people out there right now rolling their eyes thinking Jeff has lost his mind.
00:16:43.263 --> 00:16:46.495
But you see that powder Chickens don't like powder.
00:16:46.495 --> 00:16:48.374
How many people watch in this show?
00:16:48.374 --> 00:16:52.298
Actually, every one of you hates powder, right?
00:16:52.298 --> 00:16:53.813
I hear it all the time.
00:16:53.813 --> 00:16:57.333
Oh, my bird's hate powder, my bird's hate powder.
00:16:57.333 --> 00:17:00.298
It's like okay, so don't feed them powder.
00:17:00.298 --> 00:17:06.952
You know they're looking for a particle size about an eighth of an inch wide and a quarter of an inch long.
00:17:06.952 --> 00:17:10.074
That's pretty big and they can handle it.
00:17:10.074 --> 00:17:12.335
Okay, they can be perfectly fine.
00:17:12.950 --> 00:17:14.114
You're talking large foul.
00:17:14.114 --> 00:17:18.137
I heard a rumor that Bantams really can choke on feed.
00:17:18.137 --> 00:17:18.839
Is that not?
00:17:19.570 --> 00:17:22.660
Any chicken can choke on feed if it gets too excited when it's eating.
00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:26.740
So yeah, I mean they can choke on powder.
00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:36.692
So the people that are limit feeding and their cups are empty and they're limit feeding too hard, that their bird's appetite is that, you know?
00:17:36.692 --> 00:17:37.573
Just insane.
00:17:37.573 --> 00:17:38.911
Okay, so what?
00:17:38.911 --> 00:17:42.240
The next thing is when birds can see other birds.
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.815
There's a sense of competitiveness as far as when it comes feeding time and they'll eat too fast.
00:17:47.815 --> 00:17:52.714
But they can choke on powder just as much as they can choke on a whole granulocorn.
00:17:52.714 --> 00:17:58.446
It's how fast they're eating and why are they eating that fast?
00:17:58.446 --> 00:18:06.077
So just slow them down and if you think they're eating too fast, make it a wet mash, just soak it in some water.
00:18:06.077 --> 00:18:08.463
I don't help it all Slide down.
00:18:10.375 --> 00:18:34.820
I'm going to give to that, because I ordered some white old English trio, white old English game bannum and had them shipped here from Texas and I just put them in the pen, put the water in there, put the feed in there and that male apparently was so hungry, or he was just aggressively eating that feed, eating that feed, eating that feed, and I turned around and he was dead.
00:18:34.820 --> 00:18:36.325
I mean, he just joked on it.
00:18:37.256 --> 00:18:37.516
Yep.
00:18:37.516 --> 00:18:38.999
So you almost need to.
00:18:38.999 --> 00:18:44.769
In your case, rep, you just kind of want to give them a little bit and just kind of work them up a little bit at a time.
00:18:44.769 --> 00:18:48.042
But yeah, he must have been starved, coming from.
00:18:48.042 --> 00:18:49.507
How long was he in trance?
00:18:50.478 --> 00:18:52.897
About nine hours yeah.
00:18:53.859 --> 00:18:56.507
He may have had anxiety issues too by the time he got there.
00:18:57.276 --> 00:19:08.523
Yeah, it also sounds a bit like like he said if he was cup fed in his previous life, where he's only gets a little bit at a time so he knows when that food's down there he better eat yeah.
00:19:08.523 --> 00:19:09.597
You know what I mean.
00:19:09.617 --> 00:19:13.980
He might have been conditioned to eat everything and no one where they came from.
00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:15.124
That entirely pop.
00:19:16.376 --> 00:19:17.882
And we're not saying anybody did it wrong.
00:19:17.882 --> 00:19:24.739
It's just a difference in how things are done at different locations and all right back to the first 14 days.
00:19:24.739 --> 00:19:44.835
So actually, when you get done with the crumbles somewhere around day 14, if you haven't already started on a mash feed which I know most of you aren't going to because you got to have pellets and crumbles, but you can Hubbard Breeders actually says you can moderate that growth factor slightly by feeding match.
00:19:44.835 --> 00:19:48.786
Okay, give the bird a chance to sort through some feed.
00:19:48.786 --> 00:19:51.815
You know, look for pieces and parts that it's after.
00:19:53.577 --> 00:19:55.442
And so that is always an option.
00:19:55.442 --> 00:20:05.701
If you feel like they're growing too fast, you can always switch them to a mash, although it hasn't been my experience, but you know they did note that finer mashed.
00:20:05.701 --> 00:20:12.815
You know, like that one powdery feed picture that we had there is that it will actually with a few course particles in it.
00:20:12.815 --> 00:20:21.946
So if it, if the particle size isn't fairly uniform, that'll actually reduce growth more than feeding that course mash picture.
00:20:21.946 --> 00:20:34.835
You know where there's a scoop called grain and it may also reduce the uniformity of the chicks, you know, by having too much particle difference in that feed in the beginning.
00:20:34.835 --> 00:20:36.699
So you want to feed.
00:20:36.699 --> 00:20:37.500
That's pretty.
00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:01.703
00:00:01.703 --> 00:00:04.551
00:00:04.551 --> 00:00:06.483
00:00:06.483 --> 00:00:08.631
00:00:08.631 --> 00:00:16.153
00:00:16.153 --> 00:00:28.692
00:00:28.692 --> 00:00:42.067
00:00:42.067 --> 00:00:52.619
00:00:52.619 --> 00:01:03.051
00:01:03.051 --> 00:01:03.993
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:05.983
00:01:05.983 --> 00:01:13.626
00:01:13.626 --> 00:01:23.280
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.593
00:01:26.593 --> 00:01:33.132
00:01:33.132 --> 00:01:42.540
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:52.198
00:01:52.198 --> 00:02:00.239
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.200
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.353
00:02:07.353 --> 00:02:10.024
00:02:10.024 --> 00:02:24.694
00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:29.349
00:02:29.349 --> 00:02:36.528
00:02:36.528 --> 00:02:46.921
00:02:46.921 --> 00:02:52.032
00:02:52.032 --> 00:02:54.985
00:02:55.206 --> 00:03:03.474
00:03:03.474 --> 00:03:04.719
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:12.754
00:03:12.754 --> 00:03:14.159
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:26.000
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:26.080
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.068
00:03:30.068 --> 00:03:35.180
00:03:36.302 --> 00:03:38.408
00:03:38.408 --> 00:03:47.054
00:03:47.054 --> 00:03:50.319
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.829
00:03:55.829 --> 00:03:56.971
00:03:56.971 --> 00:03:58.433
00:03:58.433 --> 00:04:04.395
00:04:04.395 --> 00:04:06.819
00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:11.128
00:04:11.128 --> 00:04:13.281
00:04:13.281 --> 00:04:15.860
00:04:16.482 --> 00:04:16.622
00:04:16.802 --> 00:04:18.266
00:04:18.266 --> 00:04:22.658
00:04:22.658 --> 00:04:25.567
00:04:25.567 --> 00:04:28.254
00:04:28.254 --> 00:04:34.163
00:04:34.444 --> 00:04:35.875
00:04:35.875 --> 00:04:47.567
00:04:47.567 --> 00:04:52.206
00:04:53.007 --> 00:04:54.860
00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:04.790
00:05:05.855 --> 00:05:16.355
00:05:16.355 --> 00:05:36.146
00:05:36.146 --> 00:05:39.935
00:05:39.935 --> 00:05:48.192
00:05:48.192 --> 00:05:48.894
00:05:48.894 --> 00:05:51.019
00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:52.343
00:05:52.343 --> 00:05:57.341
