What a FANTABULOUS pic...thanks for sharing your joy! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee guineas and have 9 of my own......I lost a mum sitting on her eggs, and was lucky to have a clucky chicken and she became foster mum, now that was more than 30 weeks now and they are still with foster mum, they free range...
I Just wanted to say good luck and I hope someone with the knowledge can help you...I read your post and I am no expert, but as I had read it, I just wanted to say I hope someone helps you soon ...all the best and keep us updated....
Hi All,
I would really like some advise:
I have just discovered one of my chickens has a bleeding toe. I do believe it has just happened...all her nails are black in colour generally as she is Black too and it appears that the shell of one has been ripped off, as it is pink in colour, this...
mmmm, do you have any chickens? If so perhaps one of them will take over the mothering, especially if you have a clucky chicken....perhaps for some reason your guinea has given up on the eggs that she has left, perhaps they are not viable? Can you candle them, or put them under a broody chicken...
You will have fun watching them grow, they grow FAST! They are smart and adorable....Mine loveeeeeeeeeeee grated cheese and when they were around 8 weeks I gave them cheese and lettuce and they loveeee rice and milk. Just remember to feed them a higher protein starter feed, it needs to be around...
I loveeeeeeee Guineas and only got my first three by chance, but since that time I am completely sold! They are not noisy, they are calm, have mixed in beautifully with my ducks, chicken, roosters, cats etc and generally only have something to say if as mentioned there is something that they...
Hi,
I sadly lost one of my Guineas recently I had 2 adult ones that had been together from day one, a male and a female and when my male was killed I was devastated as was my female guinea and sure she had ducks and chickens to hang out with but its not the same, she needed one of her own, so...
I had a Broody hen hatch seven of my eight eggs, because their mum was sadly killed the night they were due to hatch, they are now at the point of lay, in fact some have laid and they are still with their foster mum, go to bed with her every night and they are perch around her and some even...
Thanks so much, I finally got a guinea and he is Male and the person that I got them from knows how to sex them so I learnt to do this as well :) and I really don't know why it is I was struggling to do this!
Hi,
I have had two Guineas for about 2 year, they have been inseparable, male and female. I started off with three, but lost one on the eve her eggs were ready to hatch, so luckily I had a broody Chicken whom took on 8 of her eggs for me and hatched most of them that night and over the next...
Yay! How exciting, I loveeee guineas, they are amusing to watch, I was just watching one of my guineas, picking the face of my rooster, calmly and nicely of course, he had cheese sauce on his face and the guinea was cleaning him up lol........My guineas loveeeeeeee grated cheese, so they get a...
Anything is worth a try? My ducks don't perch, so I am not sure. I have Muscovy's 12 of them and not one perches, however they like to climb on the hay bales (sometimes) and not to high just one or two bales, but as mentioned not too often. I don't think you would have to have your porch blocked...
Hi,
I had a duck that also developed angel wing . I got a product called Micropore, which seems to be same as what is mentioned, I am from AUS. Any way I put the wing in place and taped it, but when I taped it, I taped around the outer then under the wing and did this a few times, not to firm...
Do the worst wing first, best to try and fix, as it is disfiguring to the bird and they get it caught on things, knocked easily etc etc, even if you do one side and there is huge improvement do the other and then go back and repeat once more...there is no harm done, but as with mine I totally...
Hi,
I had a duck that also developed angel wing and I did exactly what subhanalah states to do. I got a product called Micropore, which seems to be same as what is mentioned, I am from AUS. Any way I put the wing in place and taped it, but when I taped it I taped around the outer then under...
I would say try and make a screen or block off that area for a while, it might not need to be an indefinite thing, just re focus them and get them to go elsewhere where they are happy...They are obviously happy on your porch :) Don't get rid of them because of that, you will be able to re train...
mmm, I am no expert, but get help to hold her in a secure position and open her beak and have a look, maybe a third person to hold a torch there for light, I know my chicken's allow me to inspect their throats, but I haven't tried my ducks, but my nursing instinct tells me to look and see :) and...
Yes, I just looked them up! Get some Guinea fowl they love to clear the land of these terrible things, I have guinea fowl and they do a wonderful job of getting rid of insects and things and I love having them around! its natural and chemical free and safe,,,
