HEAVY MEAT BROILER CHICKS

White Rock Meat (Broiler): White in colour. Fastest growing and bred for meat only. White Rocks can be butchered at a range

of weights but are typically grown for 8-12 weeks. With the correct care, White Rocks will achieve excellent results.

Bonnie’s Heavy Red (Broiler): Considered a broiler type, this breed is slower growing than the White Rock, more resistant and

less prone to leg and heart problems. Well suited to free ranging. Bonnie’s Heavy Reds are predominantly red, with a slight

degree of variance in feather colour and pattern. Finished weights are dependant upon the type of feed used, feeding program,

length of growing period and overall management of the birds. Allow 12 or more weeks to finish.

WHITE EGG LAYERS

White Leghorn: This small white hen is capable of laying 90% or better with an excellent feed conversion. Their eggs are white

and have an excellent eggshell quality.

BROWN EGG LAYERS

I.S.A. Brown Hydrid: Our most popular layer breed. Brown in colour, the pullets of this breed are excellent brown egg

producers. Genetically bred for laying ability on a low feed consumption, this breed will lay approximately 92% during peak

production, with good quality eggs of exceptional size. The hens will reach approximately 4lbs with the rooster weighing

approximately 5-6lbs at maturity.

DUAL-PURPOSE BREEDS

These breeds are very quiet, disease resistant and lay very large brown eggs. Considered to be dual-purpose since they are

grown for eggs and meat. For the hobbyist, who would like a variety of colour for their backyard, consider a mix of these breeds.

Rhole Island Red x Columbian Rock: The female is red in colour, weighing approximately 4.5lbs at maturity. The male is

mostly white with black and brown wing and tail feathers. He will grow to approximately 6.5lbs.

Black Sex Link: Pullets are black with red under-feathers, reaching a weight of 5.75lbs. Males have a barred pattern of grey

and white, similar to the Barred Rocks.

Plymoth Barred Rock: An outstanding dual purpose bird. The females and males are similar in colour, with grey and white

bars. Females will reach 4-5lbs, while the male will reach up to 6lbs or better. These birds are very beautiful.

TURKEYS

Large White Turkeys: Offered as non-sexed ONLY. This breed will achieve exceptional size. The hens will grow to a dressed

weight of 16-20lbs in 15-20 weeks, and the toms will grow to 23-33lbs in 15-20 weeks. It is possible to have a 35-42lbs male

with a few additional weeks of feed.

READY TO LAY PULLETS

I.S.A. Brown only: Available at 19 weeks of age. All birds will be beaked trimmed and fully vaccinated. Pullets will only be

available on specified dates throughout the season. Please order early to avoid disappointment.

WATERFOWL

Available April – May – June ONLY

Muscovy Ducks: White in colour, these ducks eat less than Pekins and are excellent fly catchers. The drake is twice the size of

the female, reaching 10-11lbs at 17-18 weeks. This bird has more breast meat, smaller bones and has less fat than other ducks.

FOR THEIR WELL-BEING

HELPFUL HINTSFOR RAISING POULTRY

01/2017

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR BROILERS/ROASTERSChicks should be fed on a free-choice basis and should have fresh feed at all times. After 5 weeks of age, double the feeder space and water capacity.

NOTE: Broilers are usually processed at about 2 kg (4.4 lbs) while roasters can be processed at 3.5 kg (8 lbs). Pullets are usually smaller and lighter than cockerels of the same age.

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR TURKEYSProvide one tube feeder for every 10-12 turkeys. If trough feeders are used, 20 cm (8 in.) are required per bird. Turkey poults must have easy access to feed during the fi rst week of life. Try using egg cartons, since they make excellent feeders for starting turkeys. Clean fresh water should be available for the birds on a free-choice basis at all times. At 6 weeks of age, increase the fl oor space up to 0.5 sq. m (5 sq. ft.) per bird and double the feeder space and water capacity.

NOTE: Turkeys will achieve a weight of about 5 kg (11 lbs) at about 14 weeks but toms can be grown to more than 13 kg (29 lbs) in 25 weeks. Hens are generally smaller at the same age.

FEEDING PROGRAM FOR EGG LAYING BIRDSBirds should be fed on a free-choice basis feed at all times and fresh, room temperature water should always be available. After 20 weeks, feeding and watering space should be increased to one tube feeder for every 10-15 hens or 10 cm (4 in) feeder space per hen. There should be one nest for every 5-7 hens. Supplemental light should be provided. Ensure that the hens receive 14-17 hours of continuous light per day to stay in egg production. If the lights are turned on at 6 am, most hens will lay their eggs by 11 am. Supplemental heat should be provided when the temperature is less than 15oC (60oF) to maintain egg production.

INTRODUCTION

This flyer has been designed to provide helpful information for starting and caring for chicks, pullets and poults, and arrival of chicks. First and foremost to consider is that new chicks are “babies” and need all the “tender loving care” you can give. Avoid unnecessary handling or frightening of new chicks. Make sure they have all the room, light and heat they need. Try to keep them and their environment clean and free of parasites and diseases. Your Purina dealer can provide everything you need for successfully raising poultry.

STARTING AND CARING FOR CHICKS, PULLETS AND POULTS

Preparation: 24 to 48 hours before receiving chicks, clean, disinfect and dry the brooding areas and equipment. For best results, use a recognized sanitizer. Brooding area should be made using round enclosure called chick guard, to prevent birds from getting lost in corners. Fill the enclosure and surrounding area with 8 to 20 cm of fresh litter. A thermometer should be hung 5 cm above floor level to check temperature. Warm the brooding area to 32 oC in advance of placing the chicks.

LAYOUT

An ideal layout should include enough feeders and waterers for all the chicks. One tube feeder for every 25 birds or, if trough feeders are used, 5 cm per bird. Allow 2 cm of watering space per chick for trough waterers or one 5 litre cone-type waterer for up to 100 chicks. Provide approximatively 0.25 m2 per 10 chicks or poults on arrival. Begin to increase pen size after about one week and chick guard can be removed in about 7-10 days.

3’ - 4’’

ARRIVAL OF CHICKS

Brooder stove hood or heat lamps (1 lamp/50 chicks), located approximately 50 cm above the chicks, should provide necessary heat for the chicks.

HEAT DISTRIBUTION GUIDE

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:

CORRECTEven distribution of chicks means comfortable conditions.

TOO HOTChicks move away from heat and are drowsy.

TOO COLDChicks chirp and pile up under the hood.

DRAFTYChicks chirp and wedge behind the hood.

Make sure feeders are full. Always feed on a “free choice” basis. Water should always be available on a “free choice” basis. Keep water founts clean. An even temperature is very important for the new chicks. The following charts indicate ideal brooder temperature and heat distribution for chicks.

Daily check:

• Distribution of birds in pens;

• Temperature and humidity, ventilation, feed and water, lighting, bedding, health status and minor changes in behavior;

• Maintain the temperature of the brooder’s gauging device.
