Extended Project Summary
We study the relation between (in/outdoor) behaviour and keel fractures. Safe behaviour may improve bone quality, decreasing fracture risk, whereas hazardous behaviour increases it. We use accelerometry, lightsensors and direct observation to record behaviour in regularly palpated commercial flocks.
