Medicated chick starter is a solution to a problem caused by sanitation and crowding. IIRR. Big companies and operations want it. Us backyard hobbyists are different and monitor individuals, not flock health. I studied it and decided that we would give medicine if needed. We haven't needed...

I put these 6 on grass in a chicken tractor at 2 weeks. They have never had pasty butt either. Our first go round had several instances and we kept them inside for 6 weeks and feeding higher protein chick starter. Not having to clean the brooder twice daily is very nice. We are supplementing...

Since MG does NOT sell an unmedicated starter at 20% feed, I am feeding the 18% all flock (grower granules from their website). Will my birds be stunted? Hmm. The bag nor the website gives guidance and that is why I went this way. Wanted unmedicated and this is what my choice is. Unless I...

Yes, Florida was nice because it had the breezes. Much nicer than dank, stagnant air. I can see why it is attractive. But when the breezes get over 100 mph, time to head inland.

This time of year, we are running 60-80% humidity. Depending on how cold the house is, inside will be drier. Not a lot, but some. 40% if you keep it subartic. But figure high 60s. Hope this helped.
