    sick guinea keets?

    I got four keets a couple weeks ago. I have moved them to a small swimming pool on our covered back porch with a red heat light. I was feeding them wheat, barley, oats. They were doing well, then one of them started staying off by itself under the light. It acted tired, and hunched up. I was...

    What breed of chicken is this

    keeping the chick starter away from other chickens

    I had a hen that went broody ( Yay!!!) and hatched out 5 chicks. They are 4 and 2 days old and are getting around so I have opened the door to the shed and the little family went for an outing.

    How do YOU keep goats out of chicken feed?

    Did you have a door on it too. We have been having a time with our goat. She pushes the sliding door up and goes right in but can't get out. I think we are going to give this a go. Thanks,

    New Chicks

    Well I have Lavender Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, White Americanas, and RIRs. I am waiting on momma to hatch out her eggs which should happen on the 17th. I am wondering what a chick that is a mix of a Lavender Orpington Rooster and a RIR will look like? Sounds like it would be a weird looking...
