Thank you for all the information, it's very helpful. Right now i'm not sure what I am going to do. The loss of my girls is overwhelming to me. My 4 Guineas are not the same (missing their flock mates?) i'm hoping they will be back to themselves in a few days. Again many thanks.

Fox got into bird yard in middle of day and killed our 6 hens. Our 4 Guineas (that were raised with the hens) were spared. Now working on fox proofing. Thinking about getting new chickens (not positive yet). How would I introduce new hens to the Guineas? I would get pullets or maybe older...

I have 5 Rhode Island Reds that were raised with Guineas. The RIRs are now laying and I just found guineas in the coop when hens are laying and devouring the eggs. What can be done to stop them? Right now I have been locking the guineas out of the run-in and coop when hens are laying but worry...

Thank you!

Thank you for the warm welcome

Eating same feed they always have, nothing changed there. Not feeding anything new or different. Not broody at all. Really strange. Have given her a "spa" treatment because of a dirty looking bum. It wasn't wet or anything just needed cleaning up because of dried guck on it. Thanks for your...

No she is not losing feathers, already went through molt. Thanks so much for the POOP CHART it did help rule out some things. Will try to feel her crop in the a.m.

I have 2 Golden Comets, one is fine and produces 1 egg a day, however the other one stopped laying and her comb has gotten very pale. Both have been wormed and checked for mites and lice and no sign of either. Lilly the one that has stopped laying (for a while now) eats well, drinks well and...

Thank you I will!

Thank you, will do!

Thanks, will do!

Thanks every one for the help with my last post, I really appreciated the help. Now a new question, I ran out of my grower/finisher, I only have 3 pullets and 4 guineas, 2 of the pullets are 14 weeks old the others are 15 weeks, can I start them on layer or just get another 50# bag (doesn't...

Here it is.

Thank you for your reply. He does have mobility but sits a lot when he gets where he wants to be. Food, water and shade are available to him in the coop which he makes use of. He does go out into the temporary run we added to the coop until we free range, water is available out in it. He...

Thanks for the Information. I don't know how I'll be able to put "him" on a diet as I have the RIR (I hope anyway), 2 Golden Comets and 4 Guineas that all eat together. My hope is to free range them all very soon. Most definitely I'll be keeping an eye on "Reilly" this is where the Guineas will...
