    @Arielle , I thought squirrel tail correlated with shorter back length so would impact laying capacity? M

    When you refer to capacity and width are you talking about the space between the pelvic bones and the size of the bones themselves? I want to know M

    I think you can ease up on the heavy-duty materials a bit if you have a system that supports it. ie electric fences and or guardians. I think tarps are very useful and come in different styles (light to heavy to lined) that, again, are useful if you have a system to support it ie stakes for...

    I've really enjoyed the climate of the thread as of late~ I'm one of those (mostly) lurkers but I do make the effort to glean ALL the info instead of bits and pieces. So thank you for the egg white debate :) Mobile pens are genius but most "designs", like bnjrob mentions, are not acutally all...

    'proper roo behavior' made me laugh, lol.... I agree it seems likely linked to management. I can also imagine how a subordinate male would rush in, down and dirty, without any fanfare. Aside from these considerations I find the behavior charming to see~ I guess it appeals to my own female...

    Have you considered mobile poultry netting in conjunction with a tractor? I have always assumed the ground under a tractor didn't stay fresh for long . M

    I can't find the specific post now about the keel bone and feeling for condition/fat but I have a question. If I'm holding a chicken and the running my fingers down her keel bone, should the flesh on either side of it be even with the leading edge of the keel bone or should it slope towards her...

    You sound a little like me....and I spent a year reading threads and asking questions, lol. At one point I was completely convinced I needed to find breeder stock but ultimately realized that I didn't need to start at the finish line and for me, the process was what I was interested in. I want...

    I just did this for the first time and it seems to be much like getting your ears pierced. No real bleeding....obviously hurts but they got over it very quickly. I used small scissors and slit the web versus punching a hole as I'd read accounts of the hole getting filled with debris. They...
