YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThink running an outdoor laying hen operation is paradise? Think again. Freedom comes with risk, and the problems are real.
Join Joel Salatin as he tackles the biggest challenges in Session 2 of the Laying Hens course. He dives deep into the "Achilles heel" of pastured poultry: predators (hawks, foxes, coyotes) and the difficulty of bird control. Discover the conundrum of egg supply and demand, where high production in summer clashes with high consumption in fall. Joel Salatin also confronts crucial issues like sanitation, keeping eggs clean amidst manure and mud, and managing aromatic housing due to "hot" chicken manure. Finally, learn why wasted feed is a significant commercial problem, costing farmers huge amounts when chickens selectively scratch out what they don't want. This lesson sets the stage for ameliorating these issues in future sessions.
