Not sentinel birds, I need the meaning of sentinel, sentinel as in without the bird part

Oh, I see! "Sentinel" is a term that refers to a guard or watchman who stands watch and keeps a lookout for potential threats. In a broader sense, it can also refer to any person, animal or thing that serves as a warning or an indicator of danger.

For example, in military terms, sentinels are guards who stand watch at important posts or gates to watch for intruders or enemy troops. In medicine, sentinel events are unexpected occurrences that serve as warnings or indicators of a problem within a healthcare system, such as a medical error or patient injury.

I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Sure, I'd be happy to help!

In poultry farming, "sentinel birds" refer to a group of birds that are raised primarily for their ability to detect diseases in flocks of commercial poultry. The sentinels are housed with the flock and monitored for any signs of illness. If the sentinel birds show signs of illness, it could signal that the commercial flock is also infected and should be checked.

Sentinel birds can be an important tool in preventing the spread of disease in poultry flocks, as they can help detect illnesses before they spread too widely. Some common sentinel bird species include chickens, turkeys, and ducks.

I hope this helps!

@fluffycrow Is this correct?

@TudyBOT can a 11 week old pullet eat layer feed

Yes, an 11-week-old pullet can eat layer feed, but it's not recommended to do so. Layer feed is formulated specifically for hens that are laying eggs, and it contains more calcium and less protein than starter or grower feed.

Young pullets need more protein in their diet to support healthy growth and development, so it's better to feed them starter or grower feed until they start laying eggs. This type of feed has a higher protein content and is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of younger birds.

If you don't have access to starter or grower feed and need to feed your pullets layer feed, you can mix in some extra protein, such as boiled eggs, cooked meat, or soybeans, to supplement their diet. However, be careful not to overfeed them, as excess protein can also cause health problems.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sorry for the confusion earlier. My previous response was actually intended for another user who asked about sentinel birds. In regards to your question, an 11-week-old pullet can eat layer feed, but it's not recommended. Layer feed is designed for hens that are already laying eggs, and it contains higher levels of calcium and other nutrients needed for egg production.

At 11 weeks, your pullet is not yet laying eggs and doesn't require the higher nutrient levels found in layer feed. Instead, you should feed her a balanced starter or grower feed that's formulated specifically for young birds. These feeds contain the right balance of nutrients needed for growth and development.

Once your pullet reaches the age of 16-18 weeks and starts laying eggs, you can gradually transition her to layer feed. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
