I don't know if better is the right word to use . The last couple of years I was on w/h last year had six on it but could not get them out at night but the six cocks all handeld the same with controlled feeding .what I have noticed this year that all the birds have more their natural shape and weight with the hopper feeding .fitness well I had one yearling hen away on Saturday got her at 4.24 sht time. Her last race was Newark and she never had a training toss from then was it luck or general fitness but she was healthy
