I've been told no citrus or potato peelings.

Onions and garlic, potato skins, chocolate are things you shouldn't feed pets.

OK, along this line of thinking......

Are there any foods/greens/fruits that I SHOULDN'T feed my chicks and hens? (Other than meats, of course)

I have been told no avocado.

cuttings, half ripe wood in summer in vermiculite and perlite and mist.

I will try that the only time I have gotten any is when they make there own off sets.

I got the same incubator a few weeks ago I am currently on day 12. SO far I have found it incredibly easy... Basically set it and check it twice a day to make sure everythings running right... Good luck

I was told by Miss Molly down in CA not to even think about getting anything less. She said it was built in failure.

Question. Looking at leg bands. The ones that look like key chains look hard on the poor leg. What kind is best. Will be breeding silkies and reg. chickens.

Also, what kind of marker do you use on your eggs before putting them in the bator?

Carolyn: If you can root cuttings from a contorted hazel nut, I have one and I'm sure I can get a cutting or two.

Kathy: It looks like grafting or layering. Mostly grafting.

Leg bands I am not sure I dont show so I just use colored zip ties. From what I have see most ppl mark with pencil.

I hate to be a jerk, but if there are graphic descriptions about how to kill a chicken, could the poster please consider giving some sort of warning before going into it? I'm exceedingly sensitive about chickens and the killing bit, and it does bad things to me when I read or hear something without warning. I'm sorry if I'm being rude.

Then Graphite doesn't cause any problems being leached into the egg?
