FAQ's and Digest

These pages are being made up from the wealth of practical and technical knowledge that can be found on the newsgroup.  None of the topics are finished - they probably never will be - we always have something to learn. If there is something you wnat to know that is not here - get on the group and ask - they are a really friendly group and no question is too simple - and hopefully if it is complicated someone will be able to help find the answer. The group is made up from all walks of poultry keeping from 2 birds in the city to commercial egg and meat producers - and from all over the world. The answers here are mostly from experience and are personal - there are no guarentees that the information is correct for your situation. We hope you will find them interesting.
