    Starting new thread so my pullets will lay.

    Lol, loved this post! Maybe if I do the same my hen will start laying as well! She's a truly ginormous 4 1/2 month old American Bresse that's been staking out a nesting spot for weeks but so far nothing... Good luck!

    American Bresse

    I have an American Bresse hen that I hatch from an egg back in mind March. I don't know much about the breed and I was wondering if anyone had any experience raising them that had any helpful info. She hasn't started laying yet but her comb is pretty red. She's by far the largest hen I've ever...

    Lame guinea fowl

    This spring I hatched my first guinea fowl along with a bunch of chickens and quail and until recently everything had been going great. However I noticed one of my guineas favoring one of its feet a week or so ago so I caught it to take a look (a harrowing experience for us both) but couldn't...

    Housing quail

    I currently have 2 laying adult coturnix quail and 8 youngsters almost ready to move outside and I'm looking for some advice on housing them in the future. I've noticed that most people house them in rabbit hutch like cages off the ground with little or no access to fresh grass and other plant...

    They really are neat, each one has its own personality.

    Yeah, they're a lot more fun to raise than I thought, their little chirping sounds are so pretty and gurgling

    New to quail

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with identifying the sex of these little guys! Smallest, most flighty and vocal Not shy of being handled but always on the move Largest and most chill, this one startles at nothing. I have one other not pictured that is pure white. Figured...

    Late January Hatch?

    Between leaving this morning and getting home around 2pm something attacked my chickens, went right through the fence. I only found one alive but it's wing had been torn off. I'm heart broken. These are my babies that I hatched myself.

    First time hatching Guinea Fowl

    I do try to handle the keets several times a day and I've noticed that when I change their water then tap my finger on the dish it makes them curious and they'll come right up to take a drink next to my hand. I had 4 guineas (5 really but one had development issues and didn't make it), 5...

    First time hatching Guinea Fowl

    I don't expect much taming from what I've read about them but it'll be an interesting experience. They're so funny when they sleep, all sacked out like the dead.

    First time hatching Guinea Fowl

    Wow, these guys really do jet around! 5 out of the six hatched successfully so that's pretty good for shipped eggs. I'm waiting on a batch of mixed EE'S that are in lockdown right now that I'll put in with these guys. Very flighty, hopefully they'll calm some.

    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the middle of a Wisconsin winter

    We've got gophers pretty bad her too, so what I'm doing this year for my new boxes is cutting a square of sod out slightly larger than my box, lining it with small chicken wire, putting the sod back but upside-down (roots up ) layering cardboard or thick newspaper then setting the grow box on...
