    Behaviour question

    Thank you. I have raised a lot but never had this. I hope it doesn't stop, I love it! ❤️

    I stepped on a baby chick. Feeling like garbage.

    Sending you hugs, accidents happen. We are huge, they are fast and tiny and our eyes can't be everywhere at once. It wasn't your fault but I know I would feel the same way as you. You just need to find a way to forgive yourself for the accident. What would you say to someone else if they told...

    breeding guinea fowl that are not free range

    Hello, I started with gunea fowl keets and raised them along with my chicks. Turned out I had 3 male and 3 female. One male left, the other I rehomed. My guineas have just finished their first mating season. No issues at all with them living with the chickens. They remain I their pen and sleep...

    Can Guinea's eat chilli flakes?

    Hello. I have been trying to find info on it but am coming up with nothing. I want to feed my chooks chilli flakes as I recently learned of the benefits. But are Guineas the same when it comes to no heat receptors? I can't feed my chooks without feeding the Guineas so I don't want to risk it if...

    Behaviour question

    Yes, never had this in this circumstance. I have had birds who were bored on the nest and loved me coming and giving them my hand to peck or playing a game of where my hand would pop up. You could see they loved the "puzzle" of where it would pop up next. Their little wings wound twitch and...

    Behaviour question

    Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on some behaviour my pigeons are showing, Kind of seen it before, but under different circumstances. I raised 2 pigeons not long ago, they are about 5 months old now. Their dad passed away and I was helping mum with top up feeds, but after a...

    Guinea War

    Oh heck. Poor Susan. Glad you were able to save her. Dale is doing a but better today, but time will tell. Usually cutting them off from the nest works for me. But she is just being stubborn. I popped her in the pigeon coop to begin with and on day 2 she hyjacked a pigeon's nest 😂 She was...

    Guinea War

    I have been trying to break the broodiness for 5 days now. She just keeps clucking and going back to the nest as soon as I open the door to let the other chooks lay. Yesterday I ended up putting her in the pigeon coop. I fear she is going to be living in there permanently. Nothing seems to be...

    Guinea War

    Haha. I don't have any roosters. I should have said Kangaroos. They are scared of the kangaroos. I kept the female separated for a night and the following day all was forgiven. She had a small wound on her beak that was bleeding. I am thinking that they saw that and started attacking? Right...

    Guinea War

    Yeah, it is spring here. I expected some issues with the males, but so far just their usual chasing and that is that. I did wonder if it was a mating thing. The one aggressor was definitely the issue. The others only joined in when she started to defend herself and even then they weren't being...

    Guinea War

    Hello all, Hoping for some insight. First time raising Guineas, and while I did a lot of research prior to getting Keets, there is still so much more to learn; especially about their behaviour. I have 6 guineas that were raised with chickens. I had 6 chicks, one turned out to be a rooster and...

    Squab - Need advice/ideas

    Thank you ❤️ Update: Yesterday I stopped the formula. It hadn't digested it after 8-9 hours. So I nipped out and got some apple sauce. This morning the crop was not 100% empty, but it was pretty close! I gave another feed of apple sauce this morning and after an hour it already looks as...

    Squab - Need advice/ideas

    Good morning, I've had pigeons for over 25 years and in that time I have handled a variety of issues with them. I've had to hand raise a few and I have had to assist feed some in a few cases, so I am no stranger to dealing with squabs. For the first time though I am at a loss with this one...

    Guinea Fowl Feed Ideas?

    Thanks, they are adults now though. They have just recently started pecking at the fowl feed. The chooks are laying so I am able to give them boiled crushed up egg. Plus being spring my pigeons have started laying. I do not let them breed and replace the eggs with fake ones so I am also boil...
