    Guinea keets arriving next week....aaaccckkk!

    So, we have raised chickens (bantams, Ameraucanas & Barred rocks) for eggs, although we no longer have any, and turkeys for autumn slaughter. Now, we have decided to get some guinea fowl to help us try and reduce our major tick problem. We live in mid-coast Maine and the ticks have been really...

    Looking for Guinea hens or keets in New England - will travel for pick-up

    Good afternoon: We are looking for some guinea hens or keets. We are in the mid-coast region of Maine, but are willing to take a drive if needed. Our daughter's summer vacation has started and a road trip within New England is not out of the question and would be a great distraction, if we...

    Newly hatched Serama chick doesn't stand up - :(

    After two great broods of Serama chicks this summer, the last Mama hen left some eggs in the nest and went off to care for the others that had already hatched. We took the rest of the eggs and put them into an incubator - we really didn't think that we would have any luck, but one of the eggs...

    My broody Serama was joined by another Serama hen in her nest. The first one didn't seem too put out at all by the company, but eventually we moved the 2nd one out into her own box with a couple of eggs after a few days. Then lo and behold our 3rd of 4 hens decided to get into the act as well...

    Broody Serama - First Time - Questions

    We have 5 Serama bantams - 4 hens and one cock (The cock, we have had for about 5 or 6 weeks). One of the hens has gone broody and has been sitting in her nest box for several days now. I have not seen anyone else join her in there at all and she is now sitting on 6 eggs (I swear it was 4...

    Balance question

    We are new to chickens and have 8 Ameraucanas ranging from about 15 to 20 weeks old that we got about 6 weeks ago. Everything seemed to be going along fine until this morning when we noticed that one of the younger ones seems to be having a problem. When she walks she does not seem to be...
