The quality of the meat is often determined genetically. Cracked corn will help them put weight on, as well a commercial ‘grower’ formula.

Cracked corn or Grits.. Last week will not make any difference. Should have been feeding then grain all along the growing period. Till the day they are dinner food…

It depends on whether or not you are speaking about Henny, Penny, or Lenny, and then there is Chicken Little….
Personally I buy my eats, don’t grow them. But if you are into that, you should have already researched before you started. Poor poor Chicken Little….. I guess the sky really is falling.
