Thank you for sharing this! I'm doing my first ever meat birds this year and was feeling great about having Rangers, up until about 2 weeks ago when I started seeing mobility issues in the bigger roosters. Their slaughter date is tomorrow, but if it wasn't, I would have a lot of birds I needed to cull for humane reasons right now. I hadn't known this was an issue with the breed, or with feeding high-protein feed.
