That's amazing! Awesome job, it took me long trial and error before I could get a fish to stay alive longer then 6 weeks.

She was camera shy ,



Under close monitoring I had one of two hens forage entirely during incubation, because of that she spent longer time off the nest and would dust bathe.

As for the second hen she also free ranged but had access to conventional feed during the morning . As a result she would spend less time off the nest and wouldn't dust bathe, and so she developed a mite infestation.

What's also surprising is the hen on the free range only diet had better weight.

Both hens hatched chicks a few days ago. The hen that had a mite infestation needed treatment, the chicks health was beginning to be effected.
Beautiful bird!
