Nature vs nurture? Of course, we're partly products of our environment. And that includes the generation to which we "belong." Factor that in to recruiting and hiring! Not all candidates are cut from the same chronological cloth. I'll be focusing on this more and more in my posts and videos. Here's a pithy chart. Don't forget that inevitably, Millennials and Gen Z's will dominate our workforce for the next - you guessed it - generation.

#Uniformity Tip 6: Feed distribution principles Even feed distribution and management of the feeding equipment along with uniform intake of feed are considered the most important objectives in rearing and production. Regardless of the type of feeding system used, feed should be distributed to all birds throughout the house in less than 3 minutes to eliminate stress and piling of birds during feeding. A quick distribution will also result in improved flock uniformity. Feed must be available for all birds at the same time. Feeder space per bird is calculated based on the assumption that all parts of the feed line have equivalent amounts of feed after the feed has been distributed. Beginning at placement, a progressive feed space plan can be used to configure the system for the correct number of birds per pan or chain length at different ages, and to obtain good feed and bird distribution. Feeder space increases should be gradual and based on bird age and the amount of feed needed to cover the entire feed track. See tables on page 36 of the #Cobb breeder management guide for feed space requirements based on flock age and sex https://loom.ly/o3pH_aA

Spring and summer are the seasons for babies, and one of the cutest ones is the cottontail rabbit kit.     Eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) start breeding season in March, but you might find nests or baby rabbits through September. And we've got you covered on what to do if you spot a rabbit nest, kit, or litter.     The first crucial step is to see if the baby rabbit is visibly injured or sick. Signs of illness may include being covered in ticks, having discharge from the eyes or nose, or being unusually lethargic. If you notice any of these signs, immediately call a local, licensed wildlife rehabilitator. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources keeps an up-to-date list of all licensed rehabbers in the state.   If the baby seems uninjured, the next step is to figure out if it should be on its own. Newborn baby rabbits are born without fur and with their eyes closed. If you find a baby rabbit that matches this description, try to locate the nest and put the baby back in it. Rest assured, mom will still care for the baby— it does not matter if your scent is on it. If the nest is destroyed, place the babies close to the old nest, preferably in a shallow hole under some cover. Mom will come back and may move her babies to a new place.     It takes about three weeks for a baby rabbit's fur to grow in fully, their eyes to open, and their ears to move to the normal upright position. This is when they are considered 'newly independent '. If you find a baby rabbit about the size of a lemon with open eyes and upright ears, it's likely newly independent. Just leave them be. They're ready to be alone, and mom is no longer caring for them. They know how to find food, hide from predators and survive on their own.  📷: Lee/Adobe Stock

Worth a share for my animal welfare and veterinary colleagues, particularly those who work with community cats. It’s interesting to note that feeding community cats is much more pervasive, and culturally diverse, than previously thought. The article concludes, “Policymakers should consider the impact to the cats and their caregivers before implementing programs that target removal of community cats from their outdoor homes.” They might also want to consult the mounting body of scientific evidence that removal isn’t effective. I mean, we’ve been killing cats for decades and that hasn’t solved the problem. Surveys show that the vast majority of Americans prefer to treat these cats humanely, rather than trap and kill them. Interestingly, the evidence supports the effectiveness of that.
