    integrating youngsters with older flock

    I have babies around 7 weeks old (bought them as day olds but they were much older looking, so perhaps a few weeks older) in a 36x42 wire dog crate inside the pen. They were raised in a brooder until they started feathering out and moved outside. They live with a cochin/leghorn chick that was...

    Homemade Chick Feed?

    Because of my lack of planning and stupidity, I find myself with 3 eggs under a broody hen that if all goes well, may hatch in the next two days. I don't have any starter feed and can't beg or borrow any and have no means to get any in the next week (long story). What could I safely feed the...

    Has anyone else taught their chickens tricks?

    Chicken tricks? Never heard of such a thing. But I have some really smart little pullets that seem to be learning to come running to my voice. Maybe I could teach them something entertaining...

    Kraienkoppes from IDEAL Poultry?

    2 BBR Kraienkoppe pullets from Ideal at 23 days old. I'm not a breeder or anything but maybe you can tell what kind of quality they are from the pic.

    Chicken names?

    I have two Kraienkoppes named Sesame and Ginger, which I think is cute.

    Review by '' on item 'Helmeted Guineafowl'

    I love my guineas. Started out with 7 lavender keets last July. They were a breeze to raise (first birds I ever had). I didn't have a coop when they were young, and they decided to make my deck into a roost. Never lost one off the roost but lost at least two to neighbors' dogs. Lost 1 when...

    Standard Mille Fleur Cochin

    Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm just curious because I love this color pattern so much but I like my big, fluffy cochins!

    guineas. loud?

    I would caution you against guineas only because they ARE noisy. Mine "talk" constantly and chatter loudly most of the time, except for when they are sound asleep after dark. They roost, eat, and spend a lot of time on our deck, and if they decide to really start yelling up there it is...

    Standard Mille Fleur Cochin

    Is such a thing possible? Or is this color only possible in bantams? Why or why not?

    Minnesota!

    Truthfully, I'm not prepared to order 25 chicks (financially and coop-wise). The predators haven't been too much of a problem except that the guineas won't roost in the coop, so they are outside on the deck all night (their preferred roosting spot). My Dane keeps the foxes, etc. away. BTW the...
