We are to assume that there is no space in the chicken house reserved for a person to gain access? If there are rows or anything else at all, we're already cutting into that 1.5 chicken/sqft space anyway. Not to mention that a sqft is awfully small. Is there any height dimension mentioned?

flock-to-flock contamination is quite a problem if you're trying to not feed the birds antibiotics. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:59:10 AM 548 Views

i was not referring specifically to you. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:35:01 PM 450 Views
Fair enough, I didn't realise you were making unrelated comments for no clear reason snoopcester - 09/11/2009 11:42:59 PM 454 Views
it was related to what you were saying about standards LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:44:27 PM 433 Views
No, it was not related to what I was saying about chicken raising standards snoopcester - 10/11/2009 10:55:18 AM 444 Views

You should use the quote box thingy on the far right of the Smiley Codes, it would make it easier Danu - 10/11/2009 01:01:02 AM 510 Views

I know what you're trying to say, and I believe you. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:54:09 AM 539 Views
most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat LadyLorraine - 10/11/2009 01:10:36 PM 479 Views
true. But I think at this point we are getting away from commercially raised and more towards pets. Avendesora - 10/11/2009 02:29:01 PM 558 Views
