    The nest box is not a toilet!

    Ok. My chickens have gotten on my nerves a bit lately. I’m pretty sure that they think the nest box is a toilet! At night instead of roosting on the roost with all the others, one of them likes to roost on the front board of the nest box and get poop all over the eggs. I’m not sure how to...

    Size difference

    I have a male and female guinea but the female is a little smaller than the male. They’re the same age but she has a weird toe so I wondered if that bothered her and made her walk lower. Is this normal?

    When will she start laying?

    I have a male and female guinea and I wanted to know when my female will start laying. Also how will I be able to tell wether an egg is fertilized or not?

    I’m a little worried about my Guinea hen

    She is almost fully grown and she walks around making that two syllable noise that the females make. This is my first “batch” :p of guineas so I would like to no if this is normal or not.

    Non-interested doe!

    My rabbit doe had 9 newborn babies last night. This is my first time dealing with baby rabbits. But she shows no interest in them! I’m afraid they might die.

    Rabbit breeding question.

    So we’re getting only two rabbits, male and female, we are going to breed them but if they die we can’t breed they’re kids because you can’t breed siblings. Is there any kind of loophole?

    Question about rabbits.

    I know this is backyard “chickens” but I do have a question about rabbits. We are going to keep our new rabbits in the same building, but separated, but then I heard that you should keep rabbits in a quiet place and our chickens are all hens but still kind of loud. Is that ok?

    Is this ok?!

    I have two guinea fowl that are each about 7-7 1/2 weeks old. I think that one is a male and one is a female. Is it ok that they each have a drop of blood on they’re beaks?

    Is it ok to have guinea rooster’s with chickens?

    Ok. So I have 2 about five week old guineas. I also have 7 chickens which are all hens. The guineas are in a separate coop right now but when it comes time to put them all together, is it ok if 1 of the guineas is a rooster? And will it be ok if they’re both roosters?

    Is this normal?!

    My three 1 year+ old hens just got moved to a new coop. We have 4 just laying hens so they are younger. Ever since we put the younger ones in the same coop they almost completely stopped laying. I also think they might be molting.

    Please help!!

    My guinea keet has a broken or deformed toe! Today I found out one of my keet's toes are weirdly bent backwards, and she just walks on it like no big deal! Is there anything I can do?! Will she be OK?! I feel bad because I'm afraid it hurts!

    Keets question

    I have a very small little kennel that I lined about a foot from the bottom up with chicken wire so the little ones couldn't squeeze through. I was wondering if my about 3-4 week old keets were feathered out enough to go outside. I will upload a picture soon.

    Coyote trouble!

    I know it's normal to lose some chickens to coyotes, but the only ones I lost were buff orps! Do these coyotes have a thing against orps?! Can I just not get them anymore? Because they're my favorite kind!

    Help with roosting please!

    So I built these roosts one higher than the other and my older chickens get on top and peck the younger ones! Then the younger one have to get off and sleep on the ground! Is there a way to stop this? Is sleeping on the ground bad for them?

    This is my first question about keets.

    Ok. So I got some keets (baby guinea fowl) a couple weeks ago. I got five to start with and three of them died. The last two's feet are getting a little white. Is this just dry skin or something? I'd love to know!
