    NR 360 Humidity

    I have having a horrendous time with my new NR 360 and humidity. For context, I'm in south Texas with 80% humidity, however this incubator is inside. I am struggling to maintain a constant steady humidity. Every time I refill even a tiny bit, it swings up to 60% and then a few hours later...

    Egg Eating

    I have a hen eating eggs. I caught her, egg handed, the other day, after noticing wet spots in the nesting boxes, and one or two broken eggs, over a few days.

    Accidentally Bought the Wrong Feed

    Hey, so I had a mixup at the feed store. I asked for Grower, I got starter, didn't realize until I got home. I have 10 girls who are 15 weeks old, and 4 girls who are a year old, and two roosters. I leave oyster shell out for all to have freely. Can I feed this bag, or do I need to return it?

    ID Stowaway the Roo, Please?

    This is Stowaway. I'm trying to get breed, and age on him. My best guess is a brown leghorn, and I'm assuming he's on the younger side based on the smaller spurs?

    Leg Banding

    Sorry to ask so many questions. I just got 5 barred rocks, and one is special needs. So I need to be able to identify her at a glance. My plan was to use colored zip ties to mark who is who, but I've heard mixed things about zip ties? Are they safe, or do I need to find a different leg band...
