Roosting Space For Pullets Aids Growth And Health
L M Ward from the New York State College of Agriculture advises generous roosting space and early roosting to prevent crowding and improve freedom of action in pullets. He emphasizes clean housing, fresh flooring coverings like shavings or sand, ventilation, and staggered colony housing to reduce age-related disturbance. Regular cleaning and carbolineum treatment help prevent mites, with separate ranges for mixed-age hatch groups to avoid older birds disturbing younger ones.
