    Any idea what breed these are?

    My daughter's preschool class hatched these out 6 weeks ago and I have yet to figure out what breed they are. Their teacher ordered them as a mixed bag of eggs so we don't even have breeds to choose from. Three of them appear to be the same breed and one is different. Thanks for any help you...

    Guineas hatched out

    Our guinea has been sitting on a well hidden nest. So well I never did find it, but today she showed up at the edge of the corn field with 3 babies. So far I can't get close enough to catch them. Is that what I should do if I can or will they be safe with their mom and dad around? I'll try...

    When will my hens start to lay again?

    I just bought 3 hens from a guy who said they are 24 weeks old. They've been in the coop/run for a couple of days now. I understand from reading on here the shock of the move may stop production. How long does that usually last? I'm ready for some fresh eggs. Is there anything I can or...

    Decorative Ivy

    I'm thinking about locating my run where a patch of decorative ivy is located. Does anyone know if it will hurt them? I've been trying to get rid of (kill) it since we moved into this house.
