    my guinea's are driving me bonkers!

    Ask the next time you get Guineas if you can have the femalse only. 3 or 4 should be enough and integrate them with the others and teach them to return to the coop at night. This should take care of your problem. If you have to, once they know the drill, shoo them away from the coop IN THE...

    chickens living with guinea fowl

    If you do not allow your flock to free range, you are going to have some very unhappy Guinea birds. Guineas really need to go out just about every day (including incliment weather) or they get pretty "cooped up" and get rather agressive. Guineas can be fairly easily trained to come into the...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    It was Sunday. The hens, roos and guinea hens all got a loaf of bread from the bread store. I only feed them once a week now. Sure was a beautiful day on the farm. Monday through Saturday it is scratch, flock maintainance, oyster shell and egg mash/pellets.

I usually get a gist of how that person takes care of his flock. I love silkies, so i bid on mostly them. I try not to bid on any cage that has a...

    chickiens eating other chyickens feathers

    Yes, what are you feeding. For example Guinea fowl are notorious for eating feathers. They require a very high protein diet and can actually die from not getting enough protien. We use starter for the regular chicks and game grower for the Guinea fowl. If we have both in the nursery, we mix...
