I think this is very sound advice, I understand that if I am gonna keep livestock I need to protect it even if it means doing things I don’t want to do. My main coop is actually very secure, I haven’t had a problem in my main coop. The adult that the fox got was during the day while my guineas...
Ok byc family, I need some advice. I live in the middle of the nj Pinelands, vast amounts of forest (Yes we actually do have that in nj) with many predators. We’ve had chickens for 4 years and now have had a guinea fowl flock for over a year. I have personally seen foxes and coyotes many times...
Thank you so much! That makes a ton of sense, I have two broody girls sitting on eggs. My chickens are all female I don’t have any roosters and don’t let them sit on eggs so I’ve never experienced this before.

Ok so I am hatching guinea keets for the first time, I had 2 eggs externally pip yesterday, one hatched this morning (about 24 hours later) the other may be having trouble but I see it moving and it has a large pip hole. Membrane looks good not brown and doesn’t seem to dry. I have not opened...
