Hi all,

I have more than half of a large bag of Mazuri grower feed as well as breeder feed for ducks. I don’t have ducklings or laying birds right now and the food is good for another seven months. I am in Minneapolis. It is very expensive food, so if anybody wants it and is close enough to make getting it convenient, it is yours!

Any tips for keeping chicken cool and safe with all this heat we've been getting? And the storm coming?

Hello! We use ice cubes in the water dishes and let them free range to find shade.
If the weather they find the cool on their own.

Ok thx. Also how would you recommend declogging a clogged vent? Or just a poopy one, because it isn't fully clogged?

Saturate the affected area with a warm wet paper towel for a minute or two.
IMPORTANT: don’t pull off the poo
ALSO IMPORTANT: don’t get the chick soaking wet
When I’m done I also return the chick to the heat lamp to let it warm up again.
Great question!
Also the surviving Minnesota thread is more active than this one.
