Do you have any now or soon? i'm in Orwell Ohio. I'm hoping to get about 10.

Is this normal poop?

Yes thank you i figured i had a roo and two hens there. im just hoping i dont have three silkie roos lol.

Their crops are filling up. They are very active, eating and drinking well. I checked their vents and all looks okay to me i may try to get some pictures of their skin and vents to your opinion but they seem well.

I took some pictures

well i got all 6, but it looks like i have 3 silkies and 3 old english game bantams.

Im picking them up tonight. I guess her daughter freaked out when she found out i was taking them so now i can only take three. I will try to talk her out of the rest when i get there.

I'm planning on getting my first guineas. My inlaws have some and they live directly across the street from me. We are going to get keets, and they will be raised on my property. We are mainly getting them for pest control we are in Northeast Ohio and are having issues with ticks in our yard...
