    Juvenile delinquent guineas

    I have a mixed flock of chickens (~30), guineas (15), turkeys (3 toms) and one muscovy drake. I have a coop that is 8x12 and a pen that is 50x75. The guineas are free to leave the pen whenever (it's not covered) and often do to free range over most of my yard. I would say the male guineas are...

    Guinea's & egg laying

    My guineas lay from April to September. And yes, they love to hide them. In the bushes or tall grass is their favorite place. But I have found nests under garden wagons, in my flower bed, under a chair in the yard, etc. Just keep looking, you'll find them. aee96

    Possibly getting turkeys for eggs

    Well, I have a mixed flock of birds - I have chickens, guineas, ducks and turkeys together. I haven't had any problems with fighting or diseases. My biggest concern would be - turkeys are not exactly laying machines. My girls layed eggs very sporadically and really wanted to be broody (when...

    Do Guineas repel snakes?

    I have pearls, slates, royal purples and whites (and Pieds of each). They all act the same -- goofy. I did have a turkey hen that when she was broody she would take on any snake (2' or 6'). She'd chase them out of the coop and run. Unfortunately, I lost her to an injury.

    Do Guineas repel snakes?

    In my experience, they are not snake repellant. I have 15 guineas and I find snakes in my yard all the time (little and small (<1' to 6', venonous and non-venomous). I find snakes in my coop all the time in the summer (anywhere from 2.5' - 6' long). They flat out ignore the big snakes. I...

    Question for the snake people

    When I find a snake in my coop eating my eggs or chicks how far would I have to relocate it to keep it from coming back? I've always heard that once they find a food source (eggs) they will keep coming back. 90% of the snakes are texas rat snakes but I've have a few misc others. I have 16...

    Need a Muscovy translator

    I have 4 muscovy boys (my first ducks) and I have a question. When they are wagging their tails and hissing, are they happy or mad? They are going thru puberty right now (chasing and mounting each other) and I just wonder when I enter the pen and they start wagging and hissing are they happy...

    Anyone good at sexing muscovies?

    I got these ducks about 2 weeks ago and need some help sexing them. I was told they are "half-grown" but I would say they are nearly full grown. (If they are only half I'm going to have some HUGE ducks). Any help you can give will be appreciated! aee96
