We have two Maremma dogs. To train the to not harm the chickens, when they are a puppy we have them on the lead and In my Mum's words, teach them "gentle". "Gentle" is simple just rubbing the side of the dogs face and saying "gentle". If the dog tries to harm the animal we simply just lightly...
I just realised you said there not eating I thought you said not drinking. Whoops. Sorry. But if you did have some molasses you could mix a teaspoon through there food. But if they do stop drinking try and put the electrolytes in the water. Good luck.
I hatched a gorgeous guinea fowl keet six days ago and it was fine until this morning. It is walking with its legs outstretched. Is it a calcium deficiency? I have been feeding it a chick mash mix. Should I feed it something else?
I have six more keets and they are perfectly fine.
If anyone...
A little treat I make my chickens once a week is:
A cup of grain (any)
Half a cup of chicken grass mix(sunflower, clover, kale, etc)
A teaspoon of molasses
One egg (plus the shell, crushed)
My chickens absolutely love this mix. I hope you will too.
Hi does anyone here know how to tell the difference between a male and a female guinea fowl?
Have one guinea sitting on eggs, but I don’t know if we have a male or not so it is unknown if they will hatch.
