mk, some clarification LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 09/11/2009 06:33:17 PM
there are doors for access, but no "offices" or "work rooms" or anything like that.

The ceilings are quite high, much higher than most people are tall.

I've never seen a poultry house with dividers of any sort

Feed/water apparatuses drop from the ceiling and hang at a proper level above the ground. They are not ON the ground to prevent fecal material or other contaminants from entering

The below link is of the typical lay out of a broiler chicken house (which is what I'm referring to). I'm not a huge fan of this house otherwise and to my knowledge it more resembles an older model of poultry house, but the set up of water/feed is the same

i was not referring specifically to you. LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:35:01 PM 481 Views
Fair enough, I didn't realise you were making unrelated comments for no clear reason snoopcester - 09/11/2009 11:42:59 PM 503 Views
it was related to what you were saying about standards LadyLorraine - 09/11/2009 11:44:27 PM 469 Views
No, it was not related to what I was saying about chicken raising standards snoopcester - 10/11/2009 10:55:18 AM 485 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 559 Views

most domesticated animals don't eat what they'd "naturally" eat LadyLorraine - 10/11/2009 01:10:36 PM 520 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 596 Views
