    Gordons Pasture Pro Plus weed and feed and chickens/guineas

    Buttercups are toxic to horses. They wont eat them unless they dont have anything else as they dont taste good. The buttercups also grow really fast and tall and will coverup the grass so it cant grow well. It is a nuisance plant that can ruin a good pasture quick. While I do use my manure...

    Gordons Pasture Pro Plus weed and feed and chickens/guineas

    I need to deweed and fertilize my horse pastures, the pastures that my chickens and guineas free range in. In the past I have used Gordons Pasture Pro Plus with great success, but that was before I had my birds. The buttercups are going crazy here in TN. Does anyone know if this is safe for...

    What breed is Shadow?

    I got Shadow and Storm from Rural King this spring. They were both supposed to be Black Asian Pullets. As they grew, Storm got larger than Shadow. I believe Storm is a Black Asian breed, but what does that make Shadow? She is very curious and friendly. I would love to get more of whatever...

    Lump of ankle of guinea hen

    Yesterday I saw one of my guinea hens, Nona, has a lump on the outside of her ankle on 1 leg. She is acting normal, eating drinking, poop (as far as I know, there has not been any abnormal looking poop in the coop). She is NOT limping at all. I finally was able to catch her today and look at...

    Do I get injured guinea a friend, and if so, what breed?

    As my post says, I have other guineas. And they saw her not walking right and were being very aggressive with her, even her partner guinea friend was pecking her in the head. 🙄 . The chickens, which were raised with the guineas, are the only ones who are being nice to her. The guineas and the...

    Hi All, I have a guinea hen that has broken her leg. Vet has her on cage rest for 4 weeks at least. I have her in the house in a crate where she is to stay as quiet and still as I can keep her. Vet said not to put her out in the coop in a cage for at least 3 weeks because she may try to move...

    What breed/gender is Smoke?

    What breed/gender is Smoke?

    I have an approximately 8 weeks old chicken. Thinking Brahma or Cochin. The guy I got it from didn't know. I also am unsure of gender. Any help appreciated.
