The more is the density in population the more will be stress. Climate changes, nutrition changes and any disturbance will easily effect the performance. The production also drops as the water,feed and air spaces are restricted.

Nice work. I want to know whether you made economic study in using different stocking densities. Which densities you have and which was more economically feasible?

Good morning, Kenneth

I watched your video. The information described trends in a qualitative manner.

Do you happen to have any graphs showing eggs laid numbers vs stocking density and feather counts vs stocking density?

Is there any area/bird which you would describe as optimal?

Cheers,
David.
