Who here wishes to contribute to a chick weight / growth chart?

In my possession I have buffs, rhode island reds and australorp chicks. All of them are less than a week old.

Yesterday I weighed a random selection of the chicks and recorded the weight in ounces. Ounces did not seem to be accurate enough, so I switched to grams tonight.

The plan is to weigh a random selection of chicks everyday, record their weight, then figure out an average.

Out of my 6 australorps and 6 buffs I weighed 4 of each breed.

Out of my 3 rhode island reds I weighed all three.

When I get some barred rocks on thursday I plan on weighing them also.

The project will continue until I get bored and decide to work on something else. But I would like to continue this for at least 4 - 6 weeks.

Anyone wish to be part of this project? If so weigh at least 3 or 4 chicks in grams, post the weights or averages, age of the chick in days, type of feed and breed.

Type and brand name of feed is important to know, as we can chart that as well

The goal is to enter the information into a spread sheet and chart the growth of each breed.
