    My 18 wk old Roo is nuts!

    Rocky - my handsome 18 week old roo (mixed breed) is chasing several of my hens. He is not getting "friendly", he is out for feathers and blood. I have had to chase him down to stop it several times. Any suggestions? I am thinking it is very likely just hormones, but I will not be giving him...

    Little Giant 9200 Still Air Incubator - humidity

    @crc14 - I had a difficult time with the humidity once I added the egg turner. I kept vents open and ran with it dry. My hatch rate was 86% for my 1st time. Also in desperation I added a torn up egg carton to absorb moisture, not sure it helped but it didn't hurt.

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I weeded the garden and the girls reaped the rewards! I didn't even knock the worms off the plants. Once they had enough I fed the neighbors horses.
