    What breed should I choose?!

    I'm looking for new chickens for free-ranging with guinea fowl. Currently I'm thinking of brown(preferable) leghorns. I've heard they're quite skittish and able to fly a lot better than the average chicken, I'm thinking this will be great for free ranging and predators. I live in Australia...

    Sick chooks, Please help

    Originally I thought it was related to food being a bit finer with the chooks sneezing, that's not the case.. They were sneezing for over a month, not chronic tho, every now and then. Lately it's gotten colder to about 10-15c some times of night which I believed has sparked the sickness...

    Why Guineas and Roosters don't mix

    Very interesting, thanks. In the last couple weeks my 9 keets have been changing tones, it sounds like on estimation there are roughly the same amount of boys to girls (Yes i know I have 9 and can't be 1:1) or maybe a few more boys to girls. In your opinion, roughly how many boys should I...
