G'day my friends,
The story thus far.
I got 4 RIR chicks in March and were supposed to be all hens but are 2 boys and now 1 girl. Three months ago one of the girls was rocking like a boat as she breathed and next time I looked had " Fallen off the perch" so to speak.
The other 3 have grown up...
G'DAY,
I've been told that the ideal humidity levels for hatching eggs in an incubator is between 50 and 65%.
This is achievable in a controlled environment but I'm going for the natural method of letting mother hen do what she does best.
What happens if the ambient humidity here is 79% or...
Hi my name is Doug and I'm new to raising chickens.
I would like to know if chicks hatched in the chicken run are protected by their mother or will the other adults attack and kill them.
I've constructed a BSF farm so that the larvae will self harvest directly into the coup. It's fairly large.
In hindsight I am thinking that there will be vast amounts of bsf. Most probably far too much.
My question is Can chickens eat too much BSFL protein and fat.
I don't want my chickens too...
