    Guinea keets arriving next week....aaaccckkk!

    So, we have raised chickens (bantams, Ameraucanas & Barred rocks) for eggs, although we no longer have any, and turkeys for autumn slaughter. Now, we have decided to get some guinea fowl to help us try and reduce our major tick problem. We live in mid-coast Maine and the ticks have been really...

    Looking for Guinea hens or keets in New England - will travel for pick-up

    Good afternoon: We are looking for some guinea hens or keets. We are in the mid-coast region of Maine, but are willing to take a drive if needed. Our daughter's summer vacation has started and a road trip within New England is not out of the question and would be a great distraction, if we...

    Newly hatched Serama chick doesn't stand up - :(

    He/she hatched yesterday morning and is still having trouble. My husband seems convinced that he/she is better now than in the beginning, but I am not convinced. Although he is the one with the nursing education, so maybe he does indeed know what he is talking about. Fingers crossed that it...

    Newly hatched Serama chick doesn't stand up - :(

    After two great broods of Serama chicks this summer, the last Mama hen left some eggs in the nest and went off to care for the others that had already hatched. We took the rest of the eggs and put them into an incubator - we really didn't think that we would have any luck, but one of the eggs...

    Ooooooooooh - Yippee - I hear peeping from under my Serama!

    I have been checking my sitting Serama hen since Friday. I had thought her eggs (6) would be hatching yesterday, and was so excited. Well, nothing yesterday and nothing when I went out at 8:30 this morning. BUT, I just went out and lo and behold, I hear little peeps coming from underneath...

    It takes a village - oops, I mean a henhouse!

    Hi 7&8 - no, I am in Waldoboro, but my cock came from there. So, here's hoping that he did a good job. Today or tomorrow should be "hatch day".

    OK - I figured out a way to at least get photos uploaded - at least to "My Page". Can't put them in posts, but figured out the Page bit, I think!!! LOL

    It takes a village - oops, I mean a henhouse!

    My broody Serama was joined by another Serama hen in her nest. The first one didn't seem too put out at all by the company, but eventually we moved the 2nd one out into her own box with a couple of eggs after a few days. Then lo and behold our 3rd of 4 hens decided to get into the act as well...

    Broody Serama - First Time - Questions

    We have 5 Serama bantams - 4 hens and one cock (The cock, we have had for about 5 or 6 weeks). One of the hens has gone broody and has been sitting in her nest box for several days now. I have not seen anyone else join her in there at all and she is now sitting on 6 eggs (I swear it was 4...

    Maine Poultry show windsor fairgrounds may 29th public welcome

    Hey there, Mad Scientist - where in Maine are you? If we have no luck at the show, we would be willing to travel to pick them up when ready....We don't currently have the ability to take little chicks that need heat, etc., so we would need to wait until they no longer need it. So, if you still...

    Maine Poultry show windsor fairgrounds may 29th public welcome

    My husband and I are planning on heading over in the morning from Waldoboro. We are looking to add some Serama bantams to our small flock and perhaps pick up a few more Ameraucana's. Does anyone know if there may be some of those varieties available? We are hoping to at least make some...

    Balance question

    Here is an update on our situtation from last week. The chicken that I had originally inquired about seemed fine the next morning. Another though was unable to stand or walk. We decided to take it to our vet (I know it seems a bit over the top, but we wanted to know and hopefully nip anything...
