    Teddy - my love has died

    Some of you may remember Teddy, our first keet from our own nest, with full article published in the Buckwheat Bites in 2013 with the Guinea Fowl International Association. Well, yeah, he grew up to be a magnificent bird and had a profound influence on the flock and my life. Even though he was...

    Have you ever crushed SMZ-TMP pills for your Guineas?

    My local vet clinic no longer makes the liquid we used to get - so I can get pills from the regular pharmacy but the bird dose of 1/32 of a pill. I can put 32 cc water in a cup and crush and swirl one in and immediately get 1 cc out - but it is a risk to overdose if too much of the pill gets...

    How old are your oldest Guinea Fowl?

So I have (3) 12-year olds and (3) 11-year olds of my flock of 25 left. My Milton is sick and I lost a very dear hen yesterday. How long do yours...

    Please help - what can I do about a bald eagle?

    OMG, you guys! I feel like my Guinea dream is over! :( I lost two (!) of my birds Thursday a week ago and this was after I saw a bald eagle 30' over my car on the road home, about half a mile from my house the week before that. S/he was carrying a squirrel in the claws and dropped it and I...

    Toxic? Tuftex Polycarb: methylene chloride and bisphenol A

    So I wanted to find some clear (roofing, I guess) panels to put in front of run wire walls to shield the birds from winter winds - instead of stapeling on clear feed sacks I collected - to have something more permanent I could take down in summer and re-use next winter etc. and avoid my 2x4s...

    Mice again

    So the site came up with 4 good links to other threads when I typed in mice - I will take a look but still post this. I am so frustrated because I tried to get rid of the snakes (and mice to some degree) by putting down hardwire cloth and cement on the floor of the run - so now I have it...

    While you were out...

    ... your Guinea Hotel and Resort has been updated for your winter comfort. :gig So, every year we are doing something else. Last year the meal worm bags were a nice, thick, clear plastic and I saved the empty bags and cut them open and used them as windshields. One year I got clear carpet...

    How to keep Guineas from going over the fence....Happy Halloween! =}

    So our Guineas have lately been naughty and flying over the fence and then screaming for me to open the gate to let them back in, because, of course, they don't know how to fly back home. What's more, there are hawks around and the Guineas screaming and running back and forth along the fence...

This post is just to show an example of a crippled Guinea that is living a...

    Afraid to kill one with the stupid wormer treatments...

    Oh man, I am already doing all I can think of - see if you can think of something else and let me know: I need to treat with ivernmection pour on since we have feather mites around here and that is the only thing I found that will control them, but that means I have to catch each bird and put...
