Thanks for a great article! As a newbie, I was wondering what the best nesting materials were. Your observations and conclusions make very good sense. I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing this information. I just put together a nestbox condo - 3 in a row - built with plywood. I think I’ll find some shallow containers (maybe dish pans) to fill with a piece of sod a few inches thick, and put one of these in each box. Mahalo for all your help!
Well, I never knew! In the many hundreds of BYC post and articles I have read on raising chickens, I’ve never come across information on Marek’s disease. This article is infor And to the point- a must read for every chicken owner.
