    Buy Chicks or Eggs or Lets See What Happens?

    Lost my flock of girls last summer to a fisher. Last fall I purchased a few mixed pullets locally, close to the laying age. They have just started to lay over the last couple of weeks YAY! Turns out one of them is a Roo! Soooo, my question is do I wait it out and see if anyone goes broody or...

    Guinea Hens w/Frostbite?

    Haven't been on in months but I figured I'd better check in. Thought we were doing good this winter. I kept the guineas in their stall all winter after letting them out one day when there was snow on the ground and the poor things weren't interested in going outside. They have a large stall...

    Timothy Hay in the Nest Boxes?

    Is it okay to use Timothy Hay in the nesting boxes? I was planning on getting straw this week when I make my feed and bedding run anyway, but after letting the girls out this morning, I discovered a nest they made in the hay bales that I put outside their coop for the winter! I'm sure they...

    Family Thinks I'm Crazy!

    First a big thanks to everyone that contributes here. As a first time chicken owner I have learned a lot from here! We have 6 RIR and 6 SLW all 22 weeks this week. A couple started laying 3 weeks ago. When I first set up their nestboxes, I asked my hubby for some golf balls....of course I...
