Beantree Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Heavy reading Leicester_H, but interesting nevertheless. Amazing people have to be instructed NOT to carry chickens by one leg, their wings or neck. Can't see how the daily inspections outlined are practical when a farmer has 10,000 hens running about though? But good point about daily checking of poo condition. That's something we have done since we started as it is definitely the best way to spot problems and simpler if you know who roosts on which perch and in what order.
