    Silver sebright broody???

    All the research I have done says that sebrights rarely go broody but I think my Miss Priss has done just that. First off, she hasn't given me any eggs in a few weeks. (She is a year old and used to lay a sweet little brown egg every day.). Second--she is a flyer and a part of the run they have...

    What would eat everything but the crop?

    Something got into my coop--which I thought was secure. It is in a barn in a renovated horse stall, concrete floor, barn boards halfway and then chicken wire..but I was sadly mistaken. It snuck in through a rat hole I found and all that was left was the crop and espohagus. It even ate my 2...

    HELP--keets are hatching now!

    My d'uccle went broody on a dozen guinea eggs 26 days ago. She is brooding in a private corner of the coop behind an old upturned drawer. Today when I got home from work I checked and 4 have hatched--all fluffy and seem healthy, and more eggs are pipping. I'm not sure how many because I didn't...

    Needed: guinea hatching advice!

    My d'uccle hen went broody on a dozen guinea eggs two and a half weeks ago. I think there may also be one of hers in there--I thought so at first but today when I checked I wasn't so sure. All of the eggs show veins, movement, even heartbeats except for one egg which showed a hairline crack...

    I think a fox did it!!!

    I have (well, HAD) 4 guineas that are cooped up at night and free range during the day. They always stay close to the house. Yesterday I had to run an errand and when I got out of the car I noticed the guineas were squawking up a storm, which isn't unusual. They were in the overgrown field that...
