Always neat to see ideas on how to make a brooder out of recycled materials. Would love to see it in use.

A nice write up on how this was made. Looks like the links no longer work, and could be updated.
Looks like a very nice DIY incubator! If possible, it would be cool to see some in-progress pictures of the build.

A quick, easy feeder to make for chicks.
Nice article showing some different colors of guineas!

A couple tweaks I would make would be to switch calling Albino to White, since white guineas aren't albino, it's just two copies of the pied gene. You might also want to add that Pied, which you're calling Piebald, can be made with any color, since it's just the addition of one pied gene.

Is this a work in progress? I'd love to see more, or even all, colors added - there are so many now!

cool im glad you liked it!
Good article with lots of options on how to provide shade for your birds, and other methods of cooling them down.
I found this article very interesting, coming at it from the perspective of someone with parrots. A lot of the time feeding peanuts to parrots is discouraged, since they are so high in fat. I was interested to read how it was similar in chickens!

Good article on the dangers of using pesticides and herbicides around chickens, and the other options you can explore instead. For me, my chickens ARE my pesticides and herbicides, haha. I just let them loose wherever I need insect control or weed removal, and they get right on it :)

Good article about the issues surrounding debeaking, and how the problems that lead to even needing to do it in the first place can be addressed so it's not necessary to do.
