    Guinea Hen egg hatching

    Hi everyone! I am feeding a friend's guinea hens while she is out of town. The guinea hen has been sitting on eggs for a while (not sure how long). I have no idea if these eggs will hatch while my friend is gone! What do I do if they hatch? They are in a coop and kept up out of harms way. Will...

We have had heavy rain and storms every afternoon for 2 weeks. The ground has gotten moldy and very muddy in one area under the coop (It's about 3 feet...

    Not sure what to do

    We got 6 chickens from Tractor Supply 4 weeks ago. All the chickens are doing great except this one. She is eating (A LOT!), drinking, having bowel movements, but her crop is huge and it never empties. We have massaged the crop, given her olive oil, apple cider vinegar, etc. and nothing is...
