I have 2 polish hats about 10 months old. (I have never raised them before) And I can't seem to tell if they are a hen or a rooster. If some one could help. [/IMG]
Moneys real tight around here. I go through about a 50Ib of laying pellets and almost 50Ib of scratch, every two weeks! Plus I own goats! So that's another 50Ib of feed every two weeks!
The feed I buy is the cheapest here. It's $20 for any 50Ib feed, so I'm spending about $30 every week to...
I have three goats
Maggie
Louise
Penelope
I'm about to get another one! I have no clue what I'm going to name her, I want it to go along with the other names
Here is her picture the man sent,
I would love to hear some names please!!!
She's is in the process of molting right now. I give them plenty of fresh water and food. Last night we had rain constantly it dropped into the high 50's. this morning at eight I came out and she was walking fine. Now she can't stand or walk! I messed with her foot and she doesn't seem to be in...

She's about 9 months old pygmy female. There is two 7 month old nigerian dwarf females with her. She is constantly budding them.
Can some one tell me why she is drinking...

I have several different questions
1. Are all guineas mean? If so can they be trained to be nice?
2. Will the guineas hurt my chickens? If so will they require a separet cage?
3. Is ideal poultry a good place to get guineas from?
4. Do guineas require any special care?
I would love to have...

Today I went in the coop to collect eggs.well there wasn't any eggs but, there was something. It looked like a plucked chicken wing at first. But when I looked at it close it looked like a intestaint! I picked it up with a stick and took it out of the cage.(I did not touch it!) it was flesh...
