    Normal or sick?

    After laying her egg this morning (usually lays one) my leghorn is walking g around restlessly and panting. She is the only one panting. I do not know if this is normal or not. She let me pick her up and after trying to cool her down one bit of drool came out of her mouth. There is no stench...

    Help with guinea eggs

    My guinea hen laid her clutch of eggs in a wooded area near our home. Things were moving along nicely. On or about the 26th day of her diligence a predator got her and all her eggs or keets (not sure if they had hatched yet). My husband and I were devastated being new owners. Prior to this...

    Silly, but serious, question

    since I am new to the guinea fowl life, I was watching two of my guineas scuffle. I thought it was a case of bullying, but I am now wondering if it is a mating ritual. What do I look for to know the difference. I am hoping you don’t find this question odd. Thanks.

    New Guinea hen ownerld

    I am definitely new to this whole backyard farm animal life. Thanks to backyard chickens advice I managed to get my guinea fowl and raise them where they return to their coop at night and are healthy. However, they are never far from me. Wherever I am in our yard if they hear my voice they find...
