So i am in love with my guinea fowls. We are moving here in a month or two and cannot house her until we have finished the move. I live in jacksonville fl, does anybody know of a place or someone that could babysit them while we move?
hey guys my father is planning to get rid of our guinea fowl. I really don’t like the idea of that, we have both bonded. The main reason he wants her gone is the noise. But I have read if me and the guinea were closer the noise would go down. Is that true? And would it be the same if I wasn’t...
To be more specific about that topic, i know 18 weeks is when you switch them over to layer feed, but some chickens are different like my marans and Brahma, they started laying at 27 weeks which i assume is because of the large size of the Brahma and the marans lay such dark eggs, but is it all...

so I’ve done a lot of research about my chcikens. From what I’ve read it says my cuckoo marans won’t lay till 9 months which for them is in December. And from also what I read all chickens take a break in winter. So is it possible that my marans will lay sooner than expected. Right now they are...
