    Will Guineas cause stress in chckens?

    I am sure this has been covered somewhere on this forum but, I am too lazy to look. I have 6 Guineas that live, eat and run with my chickens. I have noticed lately that the guineas are chasing my chickens and trying to bully them. My question is will this cause my hens to quit laying? I have 20...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    I have a question for the more experienced chicken people. Does chicks hatched in early spring do better then chicks hatched in late summer(July-Aug). I have had chicken owners tell me that chicks hatched in the later part of the summer don't seem to be as healthy and don't seem to develop into...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    This may have been already asked, if so I am sorry for asking again. How often do you OT sell out your old layers and replace them with chicks? Do most keep them until they die or do they sell all their layers every year or every 2 yrs and replace them with their offspring?

    Guineas not laying after change of address

    They are in a 10 x 10 covered lot. It is partly covered so they can get shade or sunshine. Feeding a 16% feed same as my other chickens and guineas, so I don't think its the feed.

    Guineas not laying after change of address

    I just purchased 4 guineas (3 hens and a male) and after a week I am only getting 1 egg a day and some days no eggs. They were in a pen when I got them and I am keeping them up right now. Has the moved caused slow egg production and if it has how long before they start laying better? They are...

    Do they always hatch their eggs?

    Thanks, My Guineas were locked in their own pen/run for about 4 months, the second night after I started letting them free range in the evenings they decided to move into the chicken coop which is about 50 yards away. But, they go to their old pen and lay everyday. I hope after they start...

    Do they always hatch their eggs?

    My Guineas Hens are both laying in the same spot, do Guineas always sit on their eggs when they have enough? They have seven eggs as of today, when should I expect them to sit, and will they share the nest? They are free range but are returning to their coop to lay each day. Thanks for any answers.

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    This may have already been asked, but How often do you OT's clean your water dish? When I first got chickens I read on BYC and tried to learn everything I could about chicken care and what I needed to build for a coop and run. After I got everything built I went to my friend, a OTer to get...

    Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

    Great thread! I have only had chickens for less than 2 yrs so I am always willing to take advice from folks. I currently have 41 chickens that are mostly mixed breeds. I do have some RIRs, Rocks, and Wyandottes but I really lean towards the mixed breeds because I just like the different color...

    Dead Hen-with yellow residue in feathers?

    Found one of my Hens dead today. It had a yellow like residue attached to the underside of its feathers in a few spotsl The residue would just crumble in my fingers when I touched it. We had alot of rain today and the flock was free ranging so its possible that the residue was soft and crumbly...

    Just wondering what color do you get if you cross a Golden with a Silver Sebright? Will one color be dominate or will it be a mix of both colors?

    Roo Beating the Crap out of 2 Hens. What to do?

    Quote: Thanks, I kept him in a separate pen for a few days. Then I took him off his roost and put him back in with the hens at night.( I actually put him right beside one of the hens he had been beating up on). He has settled down and even though the two new ones seem to be on the bottom of...
