We moved to the country in 2003. A friend gave me some bantams the next year. The rest is history! At the moment I have 5 guineas, 9 cochins, 24 barred rocks, 6 silkies, 3 Americanas, and a single old English Game hen who is nearly 8 years old. I have to be careful because I'm really bad about...

Field rats tunnel under fences also. I lost one of my roosters this week. His head and neck were just bones when I found him. He was in a cage and the rat had pulled him through the cage. Cage was in very secure coop and run. I found the tunnel under another cage with roosters in. They weren't...

I love my Silkies! They are smart enough to avoid the hawks that fly over and warn the rest of my flock of danger. I free range my flock all day and everyone comes running at dusk for treats and to be put up for the night.

My oldest hen is my Old English Game Hen. She is over 8 years old and still loves raising chicks, ANY chicks! She even raised Guinea keets one year. She's here for life!

I now understand chicken math! My brother wanted some guineas. I went to Atwoods to pick some up for him. I walked out with 6 more guineas, 4 new Ameraucanas, and 2 new feather legged bantams! Have to stay out of there till chick days is OVER!

Guinea eggs are kind of teardrop shaped. More pointed on the small end. Mine are cream colored or white. Some have speckles some don't.

Add Brad's Apple Cider Vinegar to their water. I have found that to help with pasty butt on chicks and keets.

Ok. Thank you

Did you sell your americanas?

Guinea eggs have more yolk than chicken eggs so to me they taste richer. They make wonderful omelettes!

Does anyone know what time the event in Hot Springs starts on the 9th?
