This is a fantastic article! Living on Hawaii Island we have chickens everywhere. Jungle Fowl. We live in the forest/jungle. We have 7 hens and a Roo. We captured them from a broody that had been raising chicks on our property for years. We also have misc chickens/roos running around. They are fantastic egg producers! We have one that would go broody in a second if I left eggs in there. This article informed me how I could let her raise chicks if I wanted. Although I don't see the need as my wild chicken just hatched 12 and she is chasing them away and laying again in the forest behind my house.
Thank you so much for this! I just threw away 80lbs of chicken feed that I forgot about in the back of the truck and it got rained on and when I opened it to check it - it was fermented. Definite fruity smell. I wish I'd known it was ok to feed. Your article was a wonderful education. Aloha!
