12 weeks?.... you would be raising medium hens? or heavy hens? with this system, I presume you would still be cleaning manure out of the "brooder side" after each flock, but cleaning manure out of the other side only annually? or ?????? I am presuming you will be washing down annually?? I have seen some single barns set up with the management scheme you describe. However, all the farms I see with multiple barns have brooders in a separate barn. I would think that from a disease management perspective, this would be the better way to go. I am surprised PP is setting you up this way. Interesting....... |
