    No idea what it is, but my rule of thumb is if it is even remotely suspect then remove and isolate. Put him in a small container with some bedding, and see what happens. Maybe over time it will become more obvious.

    Best guess (for averages) is 3-4 weeks. But there are so many factors that adjust it in either direction. I use this number, and mostly support it by how long medium mealworms will last before they start to turn to pupa if you buy them from a dealer. It is also worth noting that they will not...

    Regular window screen rolls seems to be popular. However, make sure you buy the metal version, and not the plastic / vinyl type. We have experienced the darkling beetle eating holes in the non-metal variety, and escaping.

    For chickens, mostly planning on egg layers, fed a special diet. So looking at high production, but also want to get some more unique colored eggs. Love the blue and olive colors. Brown are fine too. White is okay, but so common..

    I've come to BackYard Chickens a few times, while I research what kinds of chickens we want to raise in the future. I figured it was time for an account... Am in Washington State, on the "east side" in the Pugent sound region.
