What is best to feed in cold climates in winter for optimum health? I feed fermented feed, should I also supplement with extra protein such as sunflower seeds?
Does anybody know what could cause my Royal Palm Tom turkey to go blind overnight? He was fine yesterday & today I went out to let them out for awhile & he's totally blind. He has had no symptoms of any illness at all. There is no discharge from his eyes & no other signs of anything other than...
My guineas are in the same pen with my 3 peafowl & I'm getting ready to worm them. Is it all right to use Safeguard wormer for the guineas, they all drink the same water? Thanks in advance.
I just hatched a baby peafowl chick five days ago & this is a new experience for me with peafowl. I hatch baby chicks all the time, but never peafowl before. I only had one hatch, so I have had it in with my baby chicks in the brooder. My problem is that it is not learning from the chicks how to...
I'm looking for peafowl chicks, needing 2-3 depending on the price for companions for my lone chick I hatched. They would need to be shipped to KS. Send me a PM if you have some & are willing to ship.
I'm looking for some Peacock hatching eggs, I would like to have a mixture of colors, but would take one if that is all that is available. I would pick up if they were close enough driving distance, Otherwise they would have to be mailed. Send me a PM if you have some available for sale.
I'm looking for about 6 or so hatching peacock eggs, a mixture of colors would be fine, either shipped or if close enough to where I live I could pick up.
If there is anyone interested in a full blooded Great Pyrenees pup for a livestock guardian dog, on the Kansas Farm Swap site on Facebook there is an ad there for a lady who is trying to find homes for 3 of them. She has been having loads of pups & dogs dumped at her place & she is trying to...
Wanted Speckled Sussex Pullet either in South Central KS area or someone willing to ship. Mine was the victim of a predator & I need another one. Please PM me if you have one or know anyone that does, thanks!
Can those who have the Great Pyrenees for an LGD for their chickens tell me the pros & cons of this breed? I'm seriously considering getting a puppy & want to hear from people who have them first. We have had predator attacks on our birds a couple of times already in the few months I have had...
I got this little fella as a freebee with some guineas I ordered. Can anyone tell me if it's a hen or a roo? It's about 10 wks old now. Thanks!

Does anybody have Barred Plymouth Rock hens & if so are yours aggressive? I've got 2 young ones that have not laid yet, they're getting close to age & they seem to be the bossiest hens ever, pecking & chasing the other hens & now they have killed one of my young guineas. Is this "normal"...
I saw this ad today on Craigslist:
Pullet chicks - $2
I have some black and some orange. $2 each there are 12.
Buy a couple or buy them all!
Um, what kind of black & orange chicks? I guess they don't even know what they're selling.
This is my first time for raising guineas. I got 2 first & they are 7 weeks old now & almost all feathered out. I'm pretty sure both of these are female Pearls. I recently got baby guineas from Ideal Poultry, I started out with 7 & have lost 2 for whatever reason in the past few days. It's been...
I'm looking for 2 Black Copper Maran started pullets to buy in KS or close by. I live in Winfield, KS & would be willing to drive an hour or two one-way to pick up or have them shipped. Please PM me if you have some available for sale. Thanks!
I'm fairly new to BYC & have really been impressed with the wealth of information on here. I had chickens years ago, but haven't had any for a long time. I just recently decided to get some again & we just got our remodeled shed made into a coop & the run finished & moved the chickens into it...
I just thought I would give my review of the new automatic chicken coop door that we just installed. We got the one from Fleming Outdoors, it has no wood in the construction so there is nothing to rot or warp. The door is made of aluminum so it won't rust either. We have had it in & working for...
