In this episode of The Poultry Keepers Podcast, we continue our deep dive into the fascinating world of grow outs. Hosts John, Mandelyn, and Rip explore the subtle and not-so-subtle messages your young flock sends you every day—if you know how to look.

From activity levels and social behavior to the impact of nutrition, grit, and space on development, this conversation is packed with real-world insights for backyard poultry keepers. You’ll learn how to spot early signs of issues, make smart culling decisions, adjust feed strategies, and improve your record-keeping for long-term success.

We also touch on why amino acids matter more than protein percentages, how feed freshness affects performance, and how to save money while improving flock health. Whether you’re raising layers or breeders, this episode offers valuable tips you can use right now to grow better birds.
