    Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

    No - I just set it up and away it goes. No need to monitor it - heat and humidity are incredibly accurate. I just take out most of the dividers and put in the matting at lockdown, turn off the turning, and turn up the humidity to about 58%. xxxx M
