    Organic or not?

    I would love to be able to give my girls organic feed but have not been able to find it close to me either. I have been feeding Purina SunFresh Layena for about 3 years and have been very happy with it. All my girls are super healthy with shiny feathers and bright eyes. They also get all our...

    That is the same incubator I am using! This is my first hatch and am having a hard time figuring out how to add water to it....it's also so hard to see the channels in the tray to tell if it needs water. Do you lift the eggs out to check and add water?

We feed the Pacific Stream which has...
