thanks for righting this out the way you did, i completely agree, i used to specialize in various species of chelonians, and they are NOT for beginners, i know everybody loves them cuz they are cute and cool looking. but there a lot of work, and a life time commitment.
I am afraid that your never going to get organic feed for that price, however if your interested there is a book called beyond the pellet and it talks all about economical, organic and non GMO
I have raised many ducks and geese, and it’s really not too complicated, just get some non-medicated chick starter,(that’s important because Ducklings-will overdose themselves) make sure it’s about 20 to 22% protein, for the first several weeks, then slowly lower it by going to 18 then to 16...
This happened to me and a friend of mine, they would mercilessly eat every egg they found even the ones that weren’t in the nestbox, the thing is that they need more than soy bean protein (plant substitute protein). Chickens need one third of their diet in animal protein( milk meat eggs etc)...
The truth is that the law states that sellers don’t have to tell you that it has GMO in it, so if you don’t see anything about non GMO on it, than it is GMO, also the price is a dead giveaway, it’s the cheapest feed I’ve found

Being under those temperature swings, will definitely delay it a little, I would not open the incubator until after they hatch, if there is a crack in the egg that you can’t see (such as underneath it) it could die, because when all that dry air comes in Like that it will instantly shrink the...
It’s ok to have high humidity like that, you want it high while they are hatching, it softens the egg and and makes it easier for them to hatch, just try to keep the temp within a a few degrees, it’s not as bad for it to fluctuate at that age because they’re not in a critícale part of...
One thing people do is when they first get their chicks the first bag of feed is medicated ( to prevent coccidioses) and then after that they do the regular feeds
