Is there a way, after one replies to a post, to make this thing go back to the post you were reading instead of dropping you back at the very last page of the postings? I'm too old to remember where I was before I replied to something. Thanks

I just took in 8 week(ish) old chicks. Just checcked them all for pasty - nothing there - but looks like they've been sitting either in water or watery poo. The breeder does not vaccinate any of their birds -- do I need to add Corrid to their water? Do I need to leave them alone? I'm the...

Do guineas mate for life? Or at least pick a mate and stick with them for a season? Reason I ask is now that my helmet heads are grown and free ranging during day I've noticed I have 3 distinct pairs that are ALWAYS with one another. In fact one of the hens out of the 3 pairs is injured and...

Pardon if this has been done to death but I am wondering if there are any recommendations for an incubator for hatching guineas? Thus far my girls have lain about 24 dozen eggs this spring - we've collected and have been giving away (as food) or using ourselves. Mainly because when the nest(s)...

Well winter is moving along up here in north central MN. Last month all the birds - guineas and peacocks decided they were going to pull an iron man competition and refuse to come in the keep after our first big snow fall. This went on for about 5 nights and then most of them came in. Two...

Haven't been posting in some time -- the keets are now out and about and are trained to come into their coop at night. Even sheltering with the two peacocks at night. I've noticed some runny poop but no way of knowing who has it -- keet wise. Just wormed the peafowl - they will eat peanut...

Well all 2 dozen survived being in a brood box in the house, to a brood box on the deck and a couple of days in the barn in a dog crate secured with chicken wire after a huge downpour destroyed their wonderful cardboard box condominium on the deck. If I hadn't been so scared and crazy trying to...

from the kitchen to the back deck. Their outside semi-permanent housing is almost complete. Realized last night that we were running out of proper size wood screws so off to the hardware store after work today. They did fine. I was a nervous wreck! I added some extra protection to their...

I watched a video this week of keets eating grass as well as millet. I have started putting millet in as a treat but stopped - need to get a whistle so they can associate that sound with the millet treat (thanks to mkewsh for mentioning the whistle with millet in a previous post). At any rate...

Good morning - it's me again - new keet Mom with another round of questions. As these babies are growing it seems obvious to me that I've got some keets that might be several days older than others - simply due to size. Of these larger ones several are spreading their wings and practicing...

I am momma to two dozen Guinea keets born last Thursday. They are being kept inside and at present am using two large printer boxes covered with lattice for housing. Heat lamp temp seems to vary from mid 90's to 80 on the nose and they are all doing well. Today am trying to score a 3rd box...
