Welp Hatchery specializes in Cornish Rock Broilers. These are fastgrowing, meat-type chickens grown and raised by thousands ofAmericans across the country. We often use the term "explode" whenreferring to their rapid growth, as they are in the 5-6 pound dressedweight range at 49-56 days. Due to their fast growth rate, they shouldbe managed a little bit differently than other breeds and will be readyto butcher around 6-8 weeks of age. About 90% of our Cornish Rocksare sold as straight run chicks which means you should have earlyfryers at 5-6 weeks of age. For roaster weights (8-10 pounds dressed),take pullets to 12-15 weeks of age and dress them out.

QUANTITY

How you start and grow your baby chicks and other poultry is very important. From Welp you will receive the finest

chicks and poultry that modern breeding can produce. If you feed and manage them along the lines outlined here,

they should perform extremely well. If you "cut corners" at any point, the chances are good that it will cost you in the

long run. We are providing this information so that you can maximize the performance of your Welp poultry. We

hope this is helpful. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.

The brooding area must be thoroughly cleaned,

disinfected and free of poultry for 7-10 days if possible.

1. BEDDING/LITTER Peat Moss and/or Wood Chips are

best. Be sure 2-3 inches of bedding covers the area where

chicks will be.

2. HEAT Start the chicks at 95 degrees. Drop the

temperature 5 degrees per week until down to 70

degrees and/or until no heat is needed. If using heat

bulbs, figure two - 125 watt bulbs for 50-100 chicks. Keep a

thermometer at chick level so you can manage the temp.

Also, be sure you have room in the area you keep them so

that they can all be under the heat lamp or out from the

heat if they need to.

3. WATER Provide the chicks with only water for the first

hour after their arrival. To each gallon of water, add one-

fourth cup sugar. Let them drink this water for one hour

before providing them with feed. Start with two - 1-gallon

waterers per 100 chicks. Figure one linear inch of

watering space per chick.

P R E P A R A T I O N & T I P S

4. FEED See feed and other requirements listed for each poultry type on this page. Pay special attention to feed

recommendations for Cornish Rock Broilers.

5. DRAFT SHIELD Before chicks arrive place a shield of corrugated paper, baled straw or hay around the area where

the chicks will be started. This is particularly important during cold starting periods.

6. FLOOR SPACE/LIGHT Figure one-half square foot per bird for the first two weeks. Then increase to one square foot

after that. Heat lamps will provide heat/light during the early growing period. After that a 25-40 watt bulb should be

sufficient.

7. PREDATORS Guard against domestic or wild animals getting into your poultry operation. If your building isn’t

sufficiently “tight” your poultry may become a series of “nice meals” for animals.


QUANTITY

Start Cornish Rock Broilers just like other baby chicks on a 20-22% Chick and/or Broiler Starter. Keep them on that

ration for the first 4.5-5 weeks. At that age, switch them to an 18% Chick Grower. Provide 3 inches of feeder space and

1 inch per chick of watering space. You will “full feed” your broiler chicks around the clock for the first 5 days of age.

At 7:00 P.M. of the 5th day, make sure your broiler chicks are completely out of feed. That means there is no feed in

the feeders from 7:00 P.M. of the 5th day of age until 7:00 A.M. the following morning. You want them out of feed for

12 consecutive hours. Water, yes, but no feed.. NOT EVEN A THIMBLE FULL! Continue this ‘minor feed restriction’

program removing the feed every night until time of slaughter. Failure to follow this feeding program may result in

heart attacks. Sudden Death Syndrome or “FLIP” is the result of very rapid growth. Following the above restriction

outline, will reduce FLIP substantially. Regardless of location in the U.S., you must follow this feed restriction

program. For people living in higher elevations (mountains), it is VERY IMPORTANT that feed restriction be practiced.

- Jake G.

Recommend to start Freedom Rangers on a 24%

Broiler Starter for the first 5 weeks and then switch to

a 20% Grower to finish them on.

Waterfowl can be started on an 18-20% Duck and

Goose (or Chick) Starter. At 3-4 weeks of age, switch

them to a 16% Grower ration. At this age you can also

start providing some corn/oats on the side. Feeding

and watering space is very important. Figure 2 inches

of feeder space per bird for the first 2 weeks; 3 inches

through 6 weeks; and 4 inches from then on. On

watering space, figure 2-3 inches per bird all the way

through. Add more space during hot summer days.

Some of the newer medicated feeds have been found

to harm waterfowl. If at all possible, we would suggest

not using medicated feed if there is another

alternative.

Turkeys are not the easiest birds to get started. Start

and grow turkeys on 28% Turkey Starter for the first 8

weeks; 20-21% from 9-14 weeks; and then go to a 16%

Turkey Finisher. If turkey feeds are not available, it is

fine tarting them on 20% Chick Starter for the first 10-

12 weeks and then finish them on an 18% Grower with

limited feeding of cracked corn/whole oats on the

side. Try to use medicated feed. Figure 2 inches of

feeder and 2 inches of watering space per bird for the

first 3-4 weeks. Expand that space if needed.

SPECIAL NOTE: Start turkeys at 100 degrees and

decrease 5 degrees each week. Turkeys are very

susceptible to cold, so be sure the brooder and

bedding are warm when they arrive. Sometimes

turkeys will not find food and water at time of arrival. If

you have baby chicks that are 5-10 days old, you might

consider putting 4-5 of them in with the newly arrived

turkeys for 2-3 days. Be sure to take the chicks out

when the turkeys have caught on, as there is potential

for contracting Blackhead disease from droppings.

Guineas can be started much the same as the feeding program for Turkeys. Actually, Chick Starter feeds are widely

used for small lots of Guineas with good results. Using a 28% Game Bird feed for Pheasants is best. Most feed stores

handle that type of feed.

Different types of fowl cannot usually becombined to meet minimums, but you canusually combine different breeds within eachtype of fowl to meet the requirements. Forexample, you can order 5 Barred Rocks and 20Red Sex Links to meet the minimum of 25standard sized chickens. However, you cannotorder 10 Barred Rocks and 15 Pheasants tomeet the minimum because they are twodifferent types of fowl.

All pullets and straight run must be ordered ina quantity of 5 or more. Males may be orderedless than 5, however, there is a $1.50 fee perbreed for ordering less than 5. Must still meetthe minimum order quantity above in theshipment.

WE GUARANTEE PULLETS TO BE 90% ACCURATE TRUE TO SEX. IF MORE THAN 10% COCKERELS, WE WILL REFUND THE PRICE OF THE CHICK. CLAIMS MUST BE MADEWITHIN 8 WEEKS OF HATCH.

Vaccinated day-old

Used to identify females and males

Applied day one and used by organic and

large-scale farmers. If used, you cannot

use a coccidiostat in the feed, as it will

counteract the spray. Must ensure dry

litter conditions in winter/spring months.

Chicks will come with a dye on them and

this will go away as the chicks mature.

For customers ordering Wild Fowl, we suggest

you check with the Regulatory Agency in your

state that controls Wild Life Management. It is

possible you may need a permit to raise wild

fowl, or that only certain strains are allowed.

Our best brown egg layers would include the Red Sex Link, Rhode Island Red or Barred Rock.If you prefer a white egg, then we suggest the California White or the White Leghorn.

The White Rock, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire Red all have good meatqualities, as well as efficiency in laying eggs.

One rooster to approximately 8-12 hens. Like breeds should be kept isolated for 4-7 days toensure fertility.

Straight Run chicks are chicks that have not been sexed. They are shipped as hatched andshould be around an equal amount of males/females, although there is no guarantee. Pulletsare female chicks. Cockerels are male chicks.

The quickest way is to use our secure online shopping cart. You can also call your order in orcomplete the Order Form using your credit card information. If you do this, we can book yourorder immediately. We accept Mastercard, Visa and Discover. Another option is to send us amoney order prior to shipment.

There are no additional postage or handling costs! The price you see per chick is the only costyou will have. There are no shipping tables, weight charts, etc. to worry about!

Your chicks are shipped via the United Stated Postal Service using Priority Mail. They shouldarrive at your local post office about 2-3 days later. For example, if the hatch/ship date isMonday, your chicks should get to you on Wednesday or Thursday of that week.

Please be aware that once they are entered into the postalservice, we cannot control the time/day that they arrive.

They are boxed in specially made cardboard boxes with holes in the sides for properventilation. We have minimum order quantities so that there are enough chicks to produceenough body heat to make the trip safely. We box them according to the weather. In thewarmer months, we cut back on the number of chicks per box to ensure they do not get toowarm.
