The conversation highlights how to properly transition chicks through different phases by adjusting their nutrition and environment, including managing protein levels to prevent health issues like gout. Practical advice is also given on providing supplemental heat, transitioning chicks to outdoor environments, and understanding critical developmental phases.
The episode concludes by addressing common listener questions and setting the stage for more insights in part two.

    Thanks for sharing i am learning alot. I need to reduce my cost because i have been buying scratch and peck starter crumbles for $56 a 25lb bag for 21 growing chick ages 11 weeks to 3 weeks old. Protein content 20%.I did see a podcast that showed to add oats to reduce protein for the older chicks.I will try to a source local or a mill no more that 100 miles away. I am using the breeder supplement before i knew about Nutribalancer. Is it okat to continue the futrell breeder supplement or switch to nutribalancer?

    I love the idea of just breeding a smaller amount of chicks and focusing on quality. But, and it is a big but, my breed, the Partridge Chantecler here in Canada has been for so many years in the hands of homesteaders and back yard breeders that have had no aspirations to show these birds. So I was lucky enough to get a few birds that came from a show line that gave me a good start. But as I moved forward, I realized I was going to run into problems. My males were winning shows, but my females were not. I also found that with this line, my birds were getting too light in the ground colour and hackle, so I have sought out some darker genetics. So I am breeding more chicks than I really would prefer. But in time, if I do my job right, I hope to limit my seasonal hatching to about 60 chicks.

    I have one of those 6" pvc trough feeders like you was talkin about 12' long. I only cut off 1/3 of it, so that like you said, the food bounces back down into the trough(higher walls than cut in half). I've had it for about a year now. What I did was is I screwed it right to the wall studs and then stretched some 2 inch by 4 inch wire fencing vertical from the floor up about 5 feet and stapled to the wall up top. I was studying how the French make the grow out pens , that have the through on the outside and they reach out through the cage bars the get at the food. So I kind of copied that. I liked the way the bars limited the head movement from side to side to reduce the flicking and throwing the food out. It is a tad messy filling the trough because I have to pour the food through the 4"x2" wire fencing but it is not that bad. I plan on buying a 16' no climb horse panel or whatever that 2"x4" 6Ga wire panel is and use that instead of the flimsy fencing. I can rig that horse panel to be able to swing it up or move it aside or something so I can fill it easier. Whatever config I come up with that panel will be strong as heck and last forever. Good thing about the panel is it is pretty vertical and up about 5 ft so they can't get on top of it trying to get into the trough. So far no mess from them eating and they even clean up what I have spilled.

    I see people in the US complaining about about chicken wire. It seems like you don't have the same heavy duty chicken netting as we do in Australia. With ours it would take a bull to get through it, and it's certainly stronger than hardware cloth.

    I'm new to your channels and FB groups so I'm not sure how many subjects you've covered, but I'd be interested in more knowledge about medications for common diseases. I live in a town (in Australia) so can't have a rooster, which means breeding and showing are out of the question for me, but I'd like to know more about selection for utility (I know you've mentioned it before, but it seemed to be a part of the showing process rather than pure function), and also long profiles on different breeds. One more thing - I like the separation of readers questions on your other channel, and specific topics on this one. Just my own preference though.

    Here in Australia we are not allowed to ship live animals (including eggs) through the postal service, so whenever we ship them we can't state anything on the box. After going through the process and machinery we are used to having poor hatching rates from shipped eggs. But, at least it's a way to get some chicks from breeds that aren't available locally. I wish we had a service like you do.

    I agree with not trusting broody hens with expensive hens. Test with inexpensive eggs that are pipping and only 3-4 eggs until she has proven herself. Like Mandelyn said some will kill them as soon as they hatch & even before they are fully hatched. I used to slip day old chicks under broody hens and about half the time or less the hen would not kill them, even when they popped their heads out or came completely out. But other hens would kill them right away. Same with newly hatched chicks, before they are up and moving around... some hens will kill them right off and others would not. What I have found is the hens that were less prone to kill them would take to them much better if they had a chance to hear them peeping as newly hatched, or pipping. Especially the pipping ones because the hens would have time to get used to the sound of a pipping peeping(because they do peep while in the egg pipping) chick for that time before it came out, giving her time to get her brain in "I'm a mother" mode. If I was convinced a hen was taking to them, and you can tell because she is tending to them in a mothering manner, I would pile as many pipping and/or day old chicks under her as she could cover, and she would accept them all. I have also had several hens with chicks at a time, and one hen at times would steal chicks from the other hens. So sometimes it is good to keep the brooding/tending mothers in separate quarters, because a hen can steal more chicks than she can cover, and you will get sick and/or dead chicks from them getting chilled.

    As always.. awesome episode... Btw I split up the sides as well.. utility. I have large hands to I basically have to split them to get my hand in there. But I do keep all the fat and skin on as possible. Being on a carnivore diet I need all the animal fat I can get. Hearts & livers & gizzards is what gives a carnivore the proper "head to tail" profile for feeding the body what it needs without having to dip into carb/plant based foods.
