417 - Creating Better Brood Habitat with Dr. Marcus Lashley Part 1

Creating Better Brood Habitat with Marcus Lashley
This week, Cameron and Andy share part of the Alabama NWTF Field Day seminar where Dr. Marcus Lashley talks about brood habitat.
The general theme of Dr. Lashley's seminar is that as a whole brood habitat is severely lacking across the US. We all already know that having great nesting habitat is essential to having good hatches, but creating great nesting habitat is extremely difficult to do because there is not one particular habitat that hens are likely to nest in.
According to Dr. Lashley better brood habitat is much easier to create because it has several features that are commonly found in the different areas around the US.
This is an excellent presentation, and we have part 1 of 2 for you this week. There is definitely something to be learned by all of us from this week's show and next week's show.
