Great post. Tracking age is an issue. What type of leg tie do you use on a chick? You have a brooder room? After hatch, the broods return to bed down there or I assume where ever they choose. I guess my issue is the inconvience of having them spread out in every nook and cranny and the access...

I like Yellow Houses explanation of the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two systems. I would concur that it would be difficult to scale up to any real degree with broodies. The flock poses no real threat to the chicks, but other broodies do, so for me, there is a limit as to how...
