    Interested in getting my first chicks - a few random questions

    Hi, I've had chickens for most of my life -- just love the little buggers! We live on a farm and have 2 dogs -- labs -- 2 cats and chickens and guineas. The first thing we do when we have a new dog (got a new golden lab last summer cause our 17 year old black lab died) is to teach them to...

    Consolidated Kansas

    Thanks everyone for the ideas -- but no they weren't molting -- at least not all of them. I bought some from you Danz and some from a friend and then the Cornie, the little bantam from another person. All different ages and breeds. I have had chickens on and off since I was about 7 years old...

    Thanks Danz. I'll let you know about the birds. About 3 months ago I gave away all of my hens mainly because they all stopped laying. I couldn't figure it out but last summer in July they all quit laying at the same time. Thought a molt but no and never did figure out what the problem was...

    Help

    I never had any trouble with my guineas returning to the coop until the last few nights and I found them in the trees near our house and it was too dark to try to coax them into the coop. Some of mine too are about 3-4 month old -- born July 5. They have been just fine but never know if a hawk...

    After moving the nest and eggs...........

    Well, I finallly got a count on the babies my hen hatched -- 12 keets and 6 eggs didn't hatch. We had moved the nest so that we could keep her penned for a few days and all went well with that. They are about 5 days old now. I finally had to remove the cage because the babies could get out...

    great pics, Karen! Our guineas love dust bathing too but hubby isn't too happy right now with them because they like to dust bathe where he is trying to get grass seed to grow! So he hauled in some nice loose manure dirt for the run -- maybe that will help! Karen, KS
