    Are Guinea Fowl a reasonable replacement for chickens?

    Thanks all for your replies. I might just sell that property, who want to live where they don't like chickens anyway!

    Are Guinea Fowl a reasonable replacement for chickens?

    It's in the deed. It's not part of a community, no HOA, etc. The deeds says no pigs or chickens. We are allowed to have horses (but only based on township laws, nothing is specified in the deed) so I would imagine, cows, but I would have to check the township laws. There are probably laws based...

    Are Guinea Fowl a reasonable replacement for chickens?

    All it says is "no chickens" (not no fowl, no poultry, no birds, etc.) so if Guinea Fowl are as good as chickens I'm not too concerned about neighbors (none too close). If Guinea Fowl are called that and not chickens, that is a way around it, other than an expensive process to get the deed...

    Are Guinea Fowl a reasonable replacement for chickens?

    I currently have chickens but may move to a piece of property that has a "no chickens" clause in the deed. Would the Guinea Fowl (or something else) be a decent replacement? Any advice, information, etc., (please be verbose!) would be appreciated. Thanks and have a great day!

    Fertilized eggs causing stomach upset?

    Now you sound like my husband! I'm not given to psychosomatic delusions! LOL - I'm going with the "too rich" as I've had problems in the past when Uncle Frank came from Italy and made his "wonderful" pizza drowned in butter. Now what self-respecting Italian even uses butter, let alone that...

    Fertilized eggs causing stomach upset?

    Thanks again. It probably isn't the fertilized part being the problem. I think that these eggs might be very rich. I noticed that they are much better looking than the ones that the last batch of chickens used to lay. It seems that I can eat anything with eggs so it probably isn't an allergy. I...

    Fertilized eggs causing stomach upset?

    Thanks for your answers. Yes, there is that third possibility that I could have developed a sudden allergy/sensitivity to any egg. I thought about the unclean aspect but no one else is getting sick, my cast iron pans are HOT and I don't use a cutting board (at least not for eggs). I wash the...

    Fertilized eggs causing stomach upset?

    Hi, I did a search so I don't know if this topic has been addressed yet so here goes: I'm well over middle aged and I've been eating eggs my entire life without any trouble. I've also been eating my own chickens' eggs for over two years now. The first batch of chicks we had for about two years...
