    Why does my turkey keep growing wings? **PICS ADDED**

    Cool! I'd love to see that. Would you post a picture? Sorry, I have no answer for your question.

    Want to add (two) 1 year old Pearl guineas to chicken flock??

    Although they are in and out of each other's coops all day long, my guineas, my chickens and my turkeys all roost separately at night and, while free-ranging, seem to merely tolerate each other. Alas, my guineas are digging to China too! I love my guineas and have no regrets about getting them!

    Question about using DE

    You use DE as an absorbent in the coop, not in the run. It draws the moisture out of the poo, which keeps the smell down. It doesn't take much and is very effective. Sand, on the other hand, isn't actually absorbent. It does provide excellent drainage though, which makes it perfect in the...

    A different way to water chickens-Avian Aqua Miser

    I'm trying to get my adult birds trained to use it. Today's lesson consisted of spearing grapes on the nipples, which the birds quickly pecked off. I'm hoping it will make them more aware of the thing and more interested in pecking at it!

    That's very cool Steve. I love having the reservoir on the outside. My next incarnation may take advantage of that technique. Thanks for posting the pics!

    Guineas as Guard Dogs?

    Mine are sort of like a car alarm. They go off so often that I don't even look any more!

    A different way to water chickens-Avian Aqua Miser

    If you buy a bunch the shipping averages out less. I wouldn't just buy 2 or 3. The Avian Aqua Miser has free shipping but they charge so much more for the exact same nipples that I still saved $20 ordering 6 from FarmTek instead of from them. Steve - sure would love to see a picture of your...

    How do I add more protein?

    Quote: My TSC sells both but the Flock Raiser they have only comes in a crumble. I prefer to feed pellets.

    Buckeye Breed Thread

    I love my Buckeyes, which are ALBC strain. I consider them to be the perfect free-range bird. They are friendly without being needy. Mine have no interest in being handled or touched but aren't in the least agressive and, hoping I have a treat, always come running. They are pretty...

    A different way to water chickens-Avian Aqua Miser

    I made nipple waterers out of 5 gallon buckets with 3 nipples each. One is in a coop with 9 Buckeye chickens and the other is in a coop with a dozen guineas. I put them in a week or so ago and don't think they're using them. My birds free-range so they just dash out and run to the creek to...
