    IDK if your are talking to someone else, but I have twelve chickens.

    Flock raiser feed

    The Tractor Supply that's a good bit away carries Dumor, but not a flock raiser type.

    planting edibles for chickens

    Anyone have any experience with comfrey killing their chickens? Seems as though my yard would be a chicken graveyard given as much of the stuff they have eaten over the years.

    Flock raiser feed

    I've been wanting to go to a flock raiser feed for my mixed flock, but our feed place doesn't carry the Purina or Nutrena brands, and our other options to go are too far away. Does anyone know if the game bird feeds would be similar to flock raiser in content? Here is a link to the site that...

    planting edibles for chickens

    This goes against what you want, but in the long run would be a whole lot easier. Once you get some comfrey going outside, it will keep coming back and you won't have to mess with replanting stuff in your house. However, it will wilt down in the winter. I'm not sure if it will grow indoors...

    Pipped wrong end, no progress.

    My last unhatched egg in the incubator pipped on the end opposite air sac at 8:30 last night. Early this morning it increased the size of the hole to about half the size of a dime, but hasn't made any progress since. I can see it's beak sticking out, but it really isn't trying to unzip anymore...

    Air sac moved

    So today is 20. It is has pipped(piped). The way I understand it, they are supposed to make the hole at the edge of the airsac. I marked where the airsacs were, and this one's hole is right in the center of the airsac. Is this abnormal as well?

    Lockdown what if...

    I'm doing my first incubation using a Janoel 12 and currently on day 18. From what I understand, when you go into lockdown, you aren't supposed to open it up again. So my question is, how am I to adjust humidity if it starts getting out of whack?

    Air sac moved

    I did not take a pic, I'm kind of shy of moving them again now. Eggs were not shipped. There were definitely veins and a dark area from the embryo I would guess.

    Air sac moved

    I was candling today(day 10) and I noticed that one of the air sacs have moved to the side rather than the fat end. Is this normal or should I abort?

    How to keep track of chicken progeny in incubator?

    The incubator manual says to remove the divider three days before hatching. I wouldn't think that's really necessary is it?

    Just got incubator started, hen goes broody.

    Sounds like a plan.
