MEAT-TYPE BROILERS

CORNISH ROCK BROILER Welp Hatchery specializes in Cornish Rock Broilers. These are fast growing, meat-type grown and raised by thousands of Americans across the country. We often use the term "explode" when referring to their rapid growth, as they are in the 5-6 pound dressed weight range at 49-56 days. Due to their fast growth rate, they should be managed a little bit differently than other breeds and will be ready to butcher around 6-8 weeks of age. About 90% of our Cornish Rocks are sold as straight run chicks which means you should have early fryers 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.

POULTRY CARE

We offer a wide range of poultry care products to help you take care of your chicks. This includes: Books, Equipment, Vitamins/Medication, Bio-Security and Miscellaneous items. Please give us a call or visit our website for more information. WELP HATCHERY CATALOG

PREPARATION & TIPS

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 QUANTITY watering space per chick.

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. WELP HATCHERY CATALOG

PREPARATION & TIPS

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.

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.

Turkeys are not the easiest birds to get started. Start - Jake G. 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 Waterfowl can be started on an 18-20% Duck and feeder and 2 inches of watering space per bird for the Goose (or Chick) Starter. At 3-4 weeks of age, switch first 3-4 weeks. Expand that space if needed. them to a 16% Grower ration. At this age you can also SPECIALQUANTITY NOTE: Start turkeys at 100 degrees and start providing some corn/oats on the side. Feeding decrease 5 degrees each week. Turkeys are very and watering space is very important. Figure 2 inches susceptible to cold, so be sure the brooder and of feeder space per bird for the first 2 weeks; 3 inches bedding are warm when they arrive. Sometimes through 6 weeks; and 4 inches from then on. On turkeys will not find food and water at time of arrival. If watering space, figure 2-3 inches per bird all the way you have baby chicks that are 5-10 days old, you might through. Add more space during hot summer days. consider putting 4-5 of them in with the newly arrived Some of the newer medicated feeds have been found turkeys for 2-3 days. Be sure to take the chicks out to harm waterfowl. If at all possible, we would suggest when the turkeys have caught on, as there is potential not using medicated feed if there is another for contracting Blackhead disease from droppings. alternative.

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. WELP HATCHERY CATALOG

If you do this, we can book your order immediately. We accept Mastercard, Visa and Discover. Another option is to send us a money order prior to shipment. We would need to receive the money order before we can book the chicks. We do not ship C.O.D.

There are no additional postage or handling costs! The price you see per chick is the only cost you 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 should arrive at your local post office about 2-3 days later. For example, if the hatch/ship date is Monday, your chicks should get to you on Wednesday or Thursday of that week. There are some occasions when your chicks could even arrive the next day, so it’s best to be prepared for 1-3 days after the ship date. Please be aware that once they are entered into the postal service, we cannot control the time/day that they arrive.

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

We will provide you with healthy, quality chicks. Live delivery is guaranteed. We often put extra chicks in the boxes, so be sure to count your live chicks. We will not replace extra chicks. For arrival guarantee, please phone us immediately if you have any problems when the chicks arrive. We must be notified within 48 hours after arrival or we cannot issue credit or send replacement - no exceptions. 10050 NW 116th Way, Suite 9 Medley, FL 33178
