    Chick Herb Mixes

    Hey everyone! I've heard from many people that natural herbs are great for chicks when they're growing for many reasons. My question is, what herbs are good for what? What should I use? And what "recipes" do you use for mixing? I want to get my chicks off to a great start this year. Thanks ahead...

    Guinea Fowl vs Chickens?

    Guineas, like you said, are very antisocial. They won't be held, or eat from your hand unless trained VERY well. But I still love them! :) There is also a way to keep them from roaming too far. For 6 weeks, don't let them outside the coop. They will then know it's their home then! I really love...

    Guineas for Tick Control

    Do you mean breeds of guineas? If so, they are all the same and no guinea is more cold tolerant than the others, I believe. But if you are talking chickens, go to www.mypetchicken.com and click Especially Cold-Hardy. This is a good bunch of chickens that are cold-hardy. You don't have to order...

    Guineas for Tick Control

    My guineas don't wander too far. If you keep them in their coop for the recommended time (6 weeks) then they won't stray very far. Although, I can hear my guineas from pretty far away. I wouldn't say they're annoying, but loud. I got used to them quickly! I asked my neighbors about a month...

    Mealworms

    Well, there's a lot to talk about! :) First of all, make sure to order mealworms that are not treated with hormone. These mealworms don't grow up to be beetles, which is obviously the only way more babies can be made! First, I usually get a plastic container and raise the mealworms on oatmeal...

    How Long Does It Take For Nutrients To Get To The Egg?

    I think I understand it... So let's take a shot! :) Well just like humans and our digestive system, it really depends. There is no exact number. I am no expert, but I would say to just experiment! See how long it takes, and report back! :) -Kyle

    What type of chicks to get

    Pros- -Prolific Egg Layer -Pretty -Friendly -Not Broody -Easily Available -Cheap Cons- -A Bit Skittish Unless Trained -At many stores, so very often they are poorly treated as day olds. :( I usually just get mine locally in southern NH (border of mass) at any local store that has them. Make...

    Confused about chicks. Help.

    It is actually impossible to tell you exactly what the future chicken breed will be, because so many breeds have look-a-like chicks. But I can tell you that the dark yellow are most likely buff orpingtons, and the light yellows are white leghorns. Those ones are usually quite easy to tell at...

    Sounds like a heart beat, especially if they all have them. Good luck with the future chicks! :) -Kyle

    rating my plan

    Quite the plan... Sounds like it would be much easier to make a new coop. That plan sounds quite foolproof, if you don't fall asleep. :) GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! Hopefully it works! -Kyle

    Barred Rock Chick. Thoughts on gender????

    Do you have any pictures of the others for reference? Because it could really depend on it's growth rate. It somewhat looks like a male, but I would need other pictures to be sure. :) -Kyle

    Rats

    I didn't even know ducks ate mice! :D would they eat rats? Rats are substantially larger.

    Mealworms

    Both live and dried are good, but in my opinion the live are better. They are both equal, but for some reason I prefer live. You can grow them in mulch outside if you order them online, and then have A TON. That's fun and my favorite! :)

    Dogs eating chicken poop - now have tapeworms.

    Oh! I see. I was getting mixed up because I knew that coyotes can pass worms to dogs. I thought there was only a few types of worms! :) you learn something new everyday! (:
