So far they have gone through 9 50# bags of feed and have gotten huge. I weighed a bird the other day and it was 4 lbs 11oz. They are no 6 weeks old and I estimate them to be over 5 lbs as an average. There are a few birds that are a little bigger and 1 or 2 that are a little smaller. By having this may birds it requaires moving the tractor twice a day as well ans filling 2 big feeders 2 or 3 times a day.
I upgraded the wheel system on the tractor to make it raise and lower earier and it is much more sturdy now. I used 1" square aluminum tubing and it has made a big differnce. In this picture it is in the up position which raises the tractor up and pts the wheels on the ground.
