    I REALIZE THIS IS A POULTRY SITE BUT!

    bravo! i have to agree with you...great post. my favorite quote: Chickens are just what they have been for thousands of years: domesticated dinner. Dogs are just what they have been for thousands of years: domesticated hunters. we just have to be realistic and balanced.

    Our Chicken Coop and Duck Pad in the Back Yard

    and another thing: we used all recycled material to build everything, the coop/run and the duck house, including all the little "decorative touches", i.e. tire, mirror, etc. yup! there's nothing like raising your own food and trying to keep your consumption to a minimum. just trying to jump...

    sick or injured muscovy

    my cousins dropped off an adult muscovy today, (they figured i had chickens and ducks so i would know what to do...RIGHT) anyway, i'm not sure if he's injured or sick, but i decided to keep him away from my two scovy girls in a separate pen. he can barely walk right, although he shuffles around...

    How often does the Muscovy duck lay?

    YESTERDAY, i picked up my 2 scovy girls from the previous owner and there was an egg in the pen. and TODAY, while finishing up their house, we had them in with the chickens and guineas, and AGAIN another egg. it was so cool that i named them both (and i'm not big on naming the birds either until...

    Training Adult Guinea Fowl

    At that time, I'd just let out one guinea. It won't go far with everyone else still in the pen. Then you can gradually let out more. this is a great idea! i definitely think i'll try this. thanks everyone for your suggestions. looks like they're gonna have to deal with the lockdown until...

    Older Guineas Protecting Younger Ones?

    so hows everyone doing in the coop? we're considering the possibility of housing adult guineas in a run/coop with our 6 week chicks. the chicks were there first. probably not a good idea huh?? no real other options yet though until we get their own coop built. anyway, let us know how things...
