    Help! Swollen ear/ear lobe!

    Came home from work today and couldn't find one of my ladies. Finally found her sitting all alone in the middle of the yard (concerning enough) and not moving.

    Green head?

    I'm a new guinea owner and have had my guineas since March. They are both ladies I believe, but recently one of their heads have acquired a green tint. Like mossy green. Should I be concerned about this? I haven't found anything so far by researching. Help would be appreciated!

    Anything special I need to do to prepare my chickens for laying?

    Trying For Romance? 😂

    So, recently my little bantam cochin rooster has taken to crowing, getting in the face of and stomping his feet at one of my guinea girls while she just stares at him like he's lost his mind. Is he trying to "woo" her? It's the funniest thing I think I've ever seen.

    One of my girls ate a frog 😳

    So, I go outside to check on my chickens and here comes one of RIR girls with something large in her mouth, I tiptoe over and lo and behold, its a frog, at least 2" long. She then proceeds to swallow it whole! Do I need to be worried?!

    So confused, help!

    I bought "Silver Lakenvelder" chicks from Tractor Supply about 2 months ago. (The silver and black chicks) Well, fast forward to today and I'm seeing cockerels? that look nothing like the birds I was supposed to have been sold. They look like Silver Spangled Hamburgs. Am I wrong? And are they boys?
