I'll be anxious to see how you encourage them to lay eggs in the barn. Looking forward to the photo update.

I checked out the new barn you are moving them to. Very nice! How's the progress going?

I found the nest, and a broody hen.

One month later and things are better. All 3 of the Guineas are getting along now. They hang out together during part of the day and roost near each other every night. Gerdy and Gertrude go off by themselves sometimes. I assume there is a huge stash of eggs somewhere in the woods. The heat and...

Thanks for the compliments. This new coop was kinda an emergency build. "We" decided to increase the flock to 40 birds this spring. For the last couple years we've had about 16 or so in a 8x8 coop on a piece of the property 1/4 mile from the house. The flock had dwindled down to 2 hens and a...

Thank you for the response. I won't miss them. I left them in the coop by themselves for a few hours. They ate, drank, snacked, and walked the fence back and forth. They seemed to be settled down so I let about 1/2 my flock in check out the interaction. No major problems with the first...

We have a mixed flock of 39 chickens. Last week a young Guinea hen showed up at our property. She has decided to stay, for some reason. She hangs out with some bantam Cochins who are about her size. Everybody was getting along fine, but my wife decided the Guinea (Ginny) was lonely. So today she...
