    New to Pea Fowl

    I have my very first pea chick! "She" (pretty sure she's a she) hatched on June 4th and she's growing like crazy. I have 8 new eggs coming in the next day or two as well. I've wanted pea fowl for two+ years and am finally in a position to have them, so I'm pretty excited about it all. I have...

    Can anyone ID this baby snake?

    He hit it with the lawn mower. Does anyone know what kind of snake this is (other than a gross dead one) ? SNAKES CREEP ME OUT. We live in GA. It's only about 9 inches long. Thanks in advance!

    First Two from New Hatch

    Looks like I'm going to have a decent hatch after all. Here are the first two keets from today's hatch: One I'm almost positive is a Pearl Gray - or it's the darkest Buff Dundotte ever hatched. The other is definitely a Buff Dundotte, but it's still too wet to tell if it's a male or a female. My...

    FERTILITY!

    Out of 37 eggs set, 27 confirmed fertile. Two were old eggs (weird) 1 blood ring and a few non-fertiles. I'm SO excited! My first really big hatch of the season. One happy male, four content hens and one ecstatic human. How are everyone else's hatches going?! This time, Peeps, I promise to get...

    Question for PeepsCA

    Not too long ago you posted a picture of the hygrometer you use, and I can't find it anywhere. Did an advanced search, etc. but no go. Would you tell me the one you have again? The two I have are virtually worthless pieces of.....well, they aren't very good. TIA.

    Need a chick or a keet asap

    Yesterday I had one keet hatch out, and I don't think I'll have any others from this hatch. It's a lovely little Buff Dundotte (I think it's a female?) and I'd REALLY like to keep her. I need a one/two day old keet or chick as a buddy. I'm in N GA and will come pick it up if anyone has one. I'm...

    16 new keets from first year pullets

    Well, those (PEEPS!) who said "don't hold your breath for JLeigh to take a picture"....all I have to say is "HA". LOL. 16 keets, and two more on the way. Day olds. Got that? "DAY" olds. (I had the camera charged and ready this time.) I even have a white 5 gal bucket ready for their swirl...

    3 month old chick with "swollen" legs

    I have a chick who has legs that are twice to three times as big around as my others of the same age and breed. It's legs are as big around as my 2 year old roosters, who is five times as large as the chicks. What is this a symptom of? I suspect I had bad feed to start with and have changed it...

    Follow up on Chicken Wounds

    A few of you were so helpful to me with my chickens' injuries, I thought I'd follow up to let you know that I've taken your collective advice, and so far so good. All three hens seem to be recovering. The wounds are drying, icky-looking (like they weren't before) but they seem to be healing. I...

    URGENT. Peeps, how can I dress a wound in a chicken.

    I know this is a guinea forum, please forgive me, but my chickens were attacked by two dogs today. One has a serious wound, but doesn't seem to be bleeding externally. I want to try to tape/bandage the wound - it's on her rump and seems to go all the way to the muscle. Husband took pictures...

    Weird thing happening in one of my eggs

    I have some eggs due to hatch on the 28th, and I was candling them tonight. (When I candled them last, they were all doing great) and one of the eggs has a HOLE in the pointed end which is facing down in the auto turner, like the rest of them. The air sac is almost completely going up and down...

    Yahoo!

    I finally got one teeny-weeny-teeninsty little guinea egg. Not one of those girls will tell me who layed it, and none of them look particularly guilty. The egg isn't 1.5 inches long, LOL. At least they're thinking about it~

    Breeding/Nesting behavior ?

    My Pearl Gray male is still bullying, chasing every guinea in the pen and pulling feathers - even the females. Is that hormonal or personality? He's not just chasing the other male anymore. He's not hurting them or drawing blood, although I think if someone kept running after me pulling my hair...

    Brabanter Chicks Pictures

    These chicks were hatched on 2/19, Love their "top hats". I'm new to Brabanters, so I have a lot to learn. But I'm in love with these chicks. They're cream Brabanters. They're hopping on the panda bear, aka, "Mom". And they're growing like little weeds. I'm so happy to have them and...

    Training (?!) Guineas

    Training day 1. My goal is to train them to free range on the lawn, and not my snarky neighbor's property. I have six guineas - two males, two females, and they're all about 5 months old. I've kept them penned and cooped 24/7 until today. For the first time I opened the door to the pen to...

    Worming Time Again?

    I wormed my guineas a little over a month ago. Wormer three days in water, waited 10 days, then three more days of wormer in water. The new guineas probably need worming, too. Can I re-worm them now safely or should I wait? If I need to wait, how long? Can I administer the wormer with a...

    Guinea Sounds

    One of my females is making a sound I've not heard before - it's sort of a low-pitched, one-note honking sound, very short and she makes it often, right after the group alarm call usually. I'm just wondering what it might mean. I asked her, but she refused to answer :). Also, I have another...

    Integrated My New Keets

    I have four guineas about 15 weeks old, and two "new" keets that are about 8 weeks, maybe 9 (don't know for sure). Anyway, I put them together for the first time this morning and so far - - cross your fingers - - they seem to be getting along well. There was a little poking from the older...
