    Alternative to Oyster SHell

    can guinea hatch chicken eggs?

    Is the hen locked in a coop/pen? While she may well hatch the chicks, if she is allowed to free range the chicks won't last long. They don't make good mothers. They range far and wide, and at a pretty high speed, the chicks won't be able to do it. Most of the Guinea keets can't either.

    I wonder how it happened. Did she take over a turkey nest and hatch a few of their eggs?

    Humbling a rooster

    Sad thing is, you can teach them to fear a particular person. But not "people". If he's not exposed to many people besides you. And you got him to respect you, could be fine. But he will still challenge, and attack new people.

    Humbling a rooster

    I've found that roosters who attack people are normally best humbled with a stock pot.
