    A friendly hello! In preferences, I found a paid membership feature that should be a free feature, the ability to delete your own posts. This is because it is the "right to be forgotten." Perhaps it could get changed for a different feature that isn't a right, such as advertisements. Thanks!

    Introduction

    At least 3 people have mentioned broodiness. I didn't, so I'm wondering why I should be caring about broodiness? Is it because it's extra work and and less eggs?

    Where to find heavy duty buckets for DIY hanging feeders/waterers
