    Any way to get guineas to lay during winter?

    Rabbit stole another doe's nest?

A storm came through when the kittens were 4 weeks old and blew the cages over causing the doors to open. In the morning I went to check...

    My First LGD

    This is my 10 month old maremma puppy Alfie. He doesnt stay with the chooks, he guards the house and property and the chooks free range around. He would kill chooks if locked in the yard with them so I stopped doing it. He's happier to be free ranging with them. The sheep didn't like him and at...

    Silkies Of A Different Color

    You could get any of the colours. But I find if you cross colours you usually get partridges.

    RIR Brooding again

    It is best to move her out so her chicks are safe and can have water at their level. Throw away the other eggs. I have had a hen hatch chicks then set off early in the morning before I could seperate her, the other hens and roosters were all ignoring her and the chicks. One chick died from...

    RIR Brooding again

    Haha at least they didnt dump a rooster! Ive had that! If they are laying eggs and thats what you want you should keep them if you dont want broodys you should look at a breed that hardly goes broody. Probably wise to treat everything for mites just in case the new ones have brought them in.
