I wouldnt give a rats ass if I upset her. That would be my end goal. NOR would I let any inspector come onto my property. In my town, the chief of police is the dog catchers boss. And that is EXACTLY the 1st person I would have called. CALL THE CHIEF OF POLICE on her!!!
You call some TV...

We just harvested some of our dual purpose birds and Ill bet they were raised cleaner then store bought. AND. I didnt give mine any growth hormones or other unwanted chemicals.
My meat birds.....gross, dirty birds compared to the dual purpose. But man, we are going to chow...

They just recently passed that ppl CANT have roosters??
If thats the case, and you had your roo BEFORE, then you should be grandfathered in and it doesnt effect you as long as you have chickens. You might check that.

I'm actually in favor of that one. Agribusiness should not get a free pass to pollute. This reg is aimed mostly at factory farms.
I think that is ridiculous! What's next..... Fining, I mean taxing me because the kid stir up the dust when they are running poles or barrels in the...
Are you doing dry incubation? I never had good luck with that. Ended up with my twisted foot chicken then. 1st batch hatched 0/13, then 1/14.
For Brinsea bators, their instructions say 40-50% during incubation. Up to 60-70% when see 1st pip.
My 1st thought when you mentioned twisted foot...

I used a mug that wasnt too wide or too small, but tall enough to keep chick in. Just set it inside the mug upright on its feet. It could lay down, but only by lowering itself...couldnt stretch out or lay on side.
Does your chick have a twisted foot??
yeah both of her feet are twisted...
