    Incubating Eggs

    So, I just got an incubator, its digital, and shows temp, turns eggs every other hour, counts days, and humidity. The temp fluctuates between 99.3F-100.8F the humidity seems to fluctuate between 55%-62%. If I were to add eggs, do you think these temps and humidity levels are ideal?

    Chicken Molting

    I have a hen that is molting, kind of scrawny and is being picked on. I separated her and would like to find an organic/natural way to help repair feather loss and molting. Comments and advise would be appreciated.
