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

Honestly I dont know for sure.... I am still pretty new to chickens... BUT I got some hatching eggs from CL at the monroe show and she wrote on them with pencil.... And well CL knows her stuff

YAY

I will let you know if I get it. If I do you are welcome to have it since you can't get it yourself.

Oh no worries I just love finding FREE stuff people to use. Right now I am on the hunt for stuff to make a new chicken run....

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.

if I did this I am sorry. I can't hide that I raise meat birds and teach processing, but I won't wright about it in this thread without clear warning, or better yet I will move it to a different thread if it comes up that detail is needed.

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)

Lots of misconceptions around. A) meat is fine, they're omnivores, animal protein is good for them. B) the only thing I can think of that might normally pop up is raw potato skin (the greener it is the more dangerous in this case). There is a compound in the skin that can cause serious issues. But even that's not a sure thing. C) everything else is fine in reasonable doses.

Of course the standard disclaimer I always feel required to say "I have to recommend a good balanced diet with treats not to exceed 10% of the diet as that risks unbalancing it and could potentially cause long term health issues if done over an extended period of time."

Don't worry, you're fine. I'm one of the few people who can't even think about killing my own birds myself or having them processed. It really messes with me emotionally and makes me feel sick when I get a bit too much detail. I'm not asking anyone to hide anything, just try to give some sort of warning if vivid details are to follow. Again, I'm sorry if this is ruffling feathers.
