    Converting hatching method

    I am currently in day 3 of my first hatch. I just learned of dry hatching. My humidity is currently at 50%. Could I change methods to dry hatch at this time? I have a Nurture Right 360. Thanks!!

    16% vs 17% layer feed

    It has me perplexed. It’s Kalmbach feed, available in non- GMO. Both 16 and 17%. I’m using 17%. Ingredients seem to be the same.

    16% vs 17% layer feed

    Integrating new pullets

    There is plenty of room in the run and our outdoor pens. I currently have the two new ones in a crate in the covered run. I also sectioned off their end of the run so they can exercise and get close to the others. The Australorp chases them right into their crate, even from outside.

    Integrating new pullets

    Hello! I have 2 16 week old pullets ready for the final phase of integration. They are fine with the flock except for my two Australorps. They chase them relentlessly. My thought is to crate the Australorps to reset the pecking order. How long should they be crated? Is this 24 x 7? Does...
