    Chickens Afraid of SNOW!

    We just got 6" of snow last night. Today, when I noticed my rooster and some of the hens had not budged from their roost all day, I carried the rooster and one hen to the heated water dish (20 yards away). They drank for a good long while. I went to work and DH just called to say they were...

    Eight Guineas and one Rooster sent off to Freezer Camp

    I just finished sending my guineas and rooster to Freezer Camp. I tried pithing my first guinea but it didn't work. Maybe their head structure is too different, Then I proceeded with slicing the jugular - that worked quite well and didn't really seem to upset them too much, had a really...

    Lloyd Bridges - Crooked Legs

    Lloyd Bridges (named so because he looks like he's walking with flippers - Sea Hunt) appeared to be normal as a chick (hatched this past April) but developed crooked legs, really bow-legged. He seemed to be getting along fine, just walked funny until a few days ago. Now he is not walking at...

    Can I hatch this egg?

    My favorite rooster may have to be put down due to a leg injury. I got one egg today that would probably be his baby. I don't have an incubator. Is there any way I could try to hatch it?

    Surprised by 2 Eggs!!!!!!

    I acquired my first guineas this June. I have 11 of them. I was very suprised to find 2 guinea eggs in the chicken run this morning. I thought they weren't supposed to lay any eggs until next spring. Will they lay every day like chickens?

    3 Roosters - 5 Hens

    I have 3 roosters and 5 hens, hatched mid-April. They were all getting along fine until recently. Now when one rooster is mating a hen, the other two jump on her, one right after the other and the hen can't seem to get up right away. I was think of putting 2 of the roosters in a bachelor pen...

    They jumped the fence

    I have 3 roos and 5 pullets - new this spring. They've been free-ranging in my big fenced in back yard. Now they've decided to jump the fence and go into the woods. Should I let them continue free-ranging or confine them. If they go farther, into the neighbor's cranberry beds I'm sure they...

    Chicken Mash

    I had been feeding my chicklets starter pellets and asked my DH to get a bag of feed for the next level. The feed mill sent him home with a 100# back of dust which they called chicken mash!!!!!!!!! anyone else use this stuff? They told him that was all they had that was unmedicated.

    Mystery Black Rooster

    I purchased 6 black sex-link chicks from TSC in April. One was all dark with black legs and beak, the other 5 had light spots on the top of their heads and yellow legs and light beaks. My all dark chick turned into a beautiful rooster with blue-black feathers and gold highlights on his...

    Lost 2 Baby Guineas

    I have (had) 13 3-wk-old guineas. I took one outside and put it in a fenced in area. It quickly ran through 2 fences and off into the woods. So I went and got another baby and put it in a smaller fence with smaller holes, thinking it would call it's sibling back. It ran off too. As soon as...

    Chick swallowed a string

    My 2wk old keet swallowed a string from a feed back. I couldn't pull it out so I cut the string off at the mouth. Don't know how much is inside. Will he die? Is crop surgery advised?
