    6 of my guineas are just gone, one pair stayed.

    Well, I posted earlier that I have four guineas. Make that three. I was missing one a week or so ago. Noticed it when I let the chickens out in the morning. Then when I was standing at the kitchen sink I caught something out of the corner of my eye. It was my guinea being eaten by one of the...

    Silkie thread!

    They both look non bearded to me. And I would guess pullets. My white has a comb and wattle at 12 weeks and my partridge has no showing of either so I feel petty sure it is a pullet. Are either of your whites showing any type of comb or wattle? Couldn't really tell by the pictures. But good...

    Silkie losing crest feathers for no apparent reason. Show in october and my silkie is bald! Help!

    I also have seen chicken who have had their feathers pecked out and they never grew out. HOWEVER, this chicken has NOT been with other chickens. I have never seen anything like this. If you have a vet who also specialized in birds you might want to take her there and see what he says. Sorry I...

    Silkie thread!

    Sure hope so. I think my white one is a Roo and the two are always together. The white one "Fuzzy" is a lot more outgoing but then I have had him since he was tinny. Got the partridge when the white was about 1 1/2 months old but they are both just about the same age.

    Silkie thread!

    I have a "different" question. Do hen Silkies have combs and wattles? I have a partridge who isn't showing any sign of either and a white one that has both. I think they are both somewhere between 2 and 3 months. I am really hoping the partridge is a hen. It has beautiful coloring and blue ears...

    Thanks for the information! I will see if I can get some started tomorrow. I am really new to all of this but I sure have enjoyed all my chickens and guineas.

    Fermenting Feed for Meat Birds

    That is one of the crulest things I have ever heard of. Where are the animal rights people when it comes to this? I would quit my job before they could get me to do that.

    FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

    This is probably a really dumb question, but could you use dry oatmeal in the fermented mix? And if you just use water to start the mix how long does it take to ferment?

    New Hens won't lay

    Ya, I know we don't need three roosters but so far they all get along really good. In fact they are always together. They have (at least two of them) have figured out what their job is and are very active now. I did see one do his job and then the hen turned around and chased him off. It was...
