How funny! I had a Turkey who thought it was a lap dog! lol I haven't introduced Guinea to my chicken flock yet, I rescued it from being tormented by a dog. Its in a 10x10 coop next to regular coop so they can see each other. I hope it will get along with everyone. I think its a year old, no...

Ok I found the pics, its under, ("what breed or gender is this") Miracle is sooo cute!

I would love to see that, I will keep looking! Thanks!

Can a guinea mate with chickens and make eggs/babies?

I use fireplace ashes, my nieghbor told me to use this. I don't have flea problem any more.

That happened to me too, a mama hen had 11 eggs but 8 hatched, I did gather them up and put them in the nursery inside the coop. They are 4 weeks old now. I started to let them out 1 1/2weeks ago for about 20 mins at a time, just to be sure the BIG girls and Roo's wouldn't hurt the babies. Mama...

My Bo's eggs are long and skinny. About 2 inch long.

This is great!

Well I have been watching combs they are all the same at this point. lol. Legs are changing, a few are thicker than the others. Thats how I noticed bumps.

Ok I am trying to tell if I have roosters or hens. I have been watching feathers grow, Etc. Today I noticed all my chicks have little bumps on the legs like the showing of a rooster. (I had never noticed before) I am just so worried I am going to have alot more roosters. So I went out and...

My turkens are just like my chickens, this last winter was rough and everyone stopped laying for 2 whole months! Any other winter I get eggs all season.

Thats what I told him too. We were looking at 2 1/2 week olds and he asked. Thanks for input. It will be hard not to tease him about this.

I know this sounds stupid but I am not an expert so here it is. I was asked by a young man if a Rooster could ever lay an egg? I told him no, I never heard of a rooster ever laying an egg. Any coments? When I say that out loud it makes me laugh!

Well Mama seems to be a bit rough on all the others, but I guess she is setting boundries. Today I let her and chicks out into main coop, around 3pm, everyone had laid eggs. Anyway there is a ramp out the door into a fenced area, she led the chicks down and was very protective of her area. They...

I too think she is a good mama, but she is kicking other hens out of coop so they can't lay eggs. That can't be good. I wanted to try and get 20 chicks in with mama and her chicks. Think that would work? I just need them out of the house. Do you think 28 chicks is too much for mama?

Yes I think the hen can be above a rooster in a pecking order. My 2 week old chicks act this way and it is funny to watch. I don't know who is a hen or a rooster yet.

Does this sound like a good way to introduce? I just want everyone SAFE! Ok I have been letting Mama hen and 3 week old, 8 chicks out into the main coop, 15 to 20 mins at a time, just to see how everyone will act. A few other hens got too close and mama put them out the door. I saw her (mama)...

I have the same problem, too many roos. The girls are looking bad, feathers broken. They hide from roosters under a trailer. Anyway 3 roos out with 12 girls and 3 roos in Jail(Bachelor pad) I know thats too many, getting rid of 2 roos next week to see if the girls will perk up. It's hard to...

I agree with you, Judymae, I can't write a letter for fear it would get ugly! I can be VERY passionate, and say whats on my mind. I have been trying to think of a short to the point note that might help, the more detailed the uglier it can get. But I vote yes every day!

I like them!
