Hi guys,
I'm trying to write an article for a magazine on bad advice or half-baked advice that is commonly passed around among backyard chicken keepers. In my own life, I've gotten plenty of advice that often wasn't bad per se - it just wasn't the whole story. Por ejemplo, putting day old chicks under a broody. Not bad advice, but not said was the fact that my hen could reject the chicks, which she did. Also not said was that if she did accept them, she'd want to raise them instead of going back to laying ASAP.
What are other things people have told you to do with your chickens, and what else do you wish they also told you so you had the full story?
Thanks,
Jill
