I really like to use fermented feed. Especially chicks wether its broilers, ducks, turkeys or layers. Biggest reason is the overall heath I see a huge difference. Those who do process poultry will also appreciate reduced odor. This makes it really simple.

Yes and Yes! Loved this article! I've had a few mean roosters mostly in hatchery breeds we've bought. 2 were Black Australorp and both boys were very aggressive, would fly at your face. 1 Naked Neck attacked your ankles, 1 Gold laced Wyandotte and 2 Millie Fleur. I now only hatch my own flocks and if I see any hint of rooster aggression, he goes. We have at least 6 with our hen flocks and "backup fellas" in a rooster coop.
We keep Leghorn, BCM, Lavender Ameruacana, American Bresse, barred Rock and Easter Egger/Olive Egger. After 7 years we just don't have a mean rooster anymore. I keep backup roosters because these boys will fight a predator to save the hens. They are my first level of protection along with our LGD.

I am guinea-less right now but have kept them for about 7 years, off and on. They completely desecrate an ant colony in seconds. I've seen them eat the wood bees that bore into wood and damage buildings. They really love Japanese beetles! And don't harm my garden. The eggs are just amazing to eat, small but better than chicken eggs. I used to keep ring neck pheasant also, so I did a taste test with my family. Cooked 1 bird each, pheasant and guinea exactly the same way. All of us preferred guinea fowl. They are a fantastic multi purpose bird, but I'd recommend you don't keep in town. They are pretty loud and some days chatter nonstop. There is usually a reason when they are.

Your pictures are awesome as always, thank you!
