    Dry Hatching Guinea Fowl

    I need some advice from anyone using the dry hatch method for guinea fowl. The eggs go into lockdown tomorrow, and I am confused as to how to go about that. I've heard two different methods of dry hatching, each with their risks. 1- Add water at the very end to help with hatching. 2- Don't add...

    When Can Male Guinea Fowl Breed?

    We got our guinea fowl in September, and it's April now, so they're about 7 months old. The females are starting to lay eggs, every day. Are they fertilized? I heard different websites saying that males can successfully breed at 6 months, then somewhere else, it said 8-8.5 months. Our males are...

    Guinea Fowl Question.....

    I found one of our guineas nests, and I would really like to hatch the eggs out. One thing I heard that if guineas find out their nest was discovered, they'll leave. I was thinking of getting some fake eggs to put in the nest. Nowhere, can I find fake guinea eggs, just chickens eggs. Would they...

    Is This Egg Fertilized?

    Is this egg fertilized? It looks like it has a "bullseye" in the middle, and not just a white dot. Our rooster is 5 months old and always mating our hens. I wasn't sure if he was actually getting the job done or not though. Thank you for your answers.

    What Breed Is My Rooster?

    I'm kind of confused about the breed of our rooster. He started out looking like a blue gray chick with a light spot on his head, and now looks just like a Barred Rock. I know that BR chicks are black with a white spot on his head. What could he be? His feathers are definitely barred though...

    Rooster Not Doing His Job?

    We have one rooster for a flock of 8 hens. Our hens are smaller than some breeds. They're 5 months old, and our rooster is around that same age. Because he's so much larger than they are, I don't think he's mating right. He doesn't lower his tail down as far as he should, and hitting his mark...

    Auto Sexed Chicks and Sex Link Chicks

    What is the difference between auto sexed chicks and sex link chicks??? I want to breed Welbars (Welsummer/Barred Rock cross) and I heard they are auto sexed from hatching.

    Incubating Question.....

    We have 9 adult chickens....7 Welsummer hens, 1 Easter Egger hen, and a rooster that was supposed to be a Prairie Bluebell Egger, but I think he's a Barred Rock. I know we'll have some extra eggs, and I was thinking of incubating some and selling the chicks. But since I have multiple breeds...

    Where Can I Find Guinea Eggs?

    Our guinea hens are starting to lay now, and I would really like to get their eggs and incubate them. Where and how can I find them? Is there a way I can get them to lay in a nest box? If not, where do they usually nest? Thank you!

    My Baby Goat is Losing Hair......

    I have a 3 week old baby goat who is currently being treated for coccidia. She's been on Albon medication for the past 2 days. It seems to be working so far. Today I noticed that she was missing hair above her eye. The hair on the brown stripes down her face were shedding easily. I know it's too...

    Frostbite on Chickens Feet?

    Our weather here has been crazy cold, like for the last few days, it's been 1 degree or less. Got some snow that's stayed on the ground 2-3 days now. Our chicks are 10 weeks old, and fully feathered, so that isn't the issue. But my worry is that some of the chick's scales on their legs and toes...

    Chick Question.......

    I think our chicks are 6 weeks now. They are getting so big now, and outgrowing their brooder box. I was wondering if they are old enough and/or fully feathered enough to live outside permanetly. It gets about 32 degrees F. here at the lowest.

    Aggression or Pecking Order?

    I can't figure out if it's a pecking order or being aggressive. One chick is pecking at each chicks back, leaving a small bare patch of skin. No blood, just skin and small holes where the feather used to be. She pulls the feather out by the quill. What's going on?? I don't want to cull her, but...

    Breed Identification Please......

    I got this chick and thought is was a Welsummer, but then noticed her legs are grayish and not pinkish. She is also more gray. And her comb actually doesn't even look like it's come in yet, no spikes or anything, just flat which makes me think when it does grow, it will be a pea comb. Anyone...

    Listless and Sick Chick

    One of our Welsummer chicks is very listless, just standing fluffed up in a corner with eyes closed. She acted like she couldn't eat the crumble so I wet some down and she ate quite a bit. I also gave her a little bit of colloidal silver, as I've used it before to help a chick in the past. Now...

    One Mean Chick.....

    We just got 12 chicks yesterday....8 Welsummer and 4, what we thought were Prairie Bluebells, but they have a single comb and not a pea comb, so now I don't think so. They're gray blue, no feathers on feet, and single combed. Anyway, I noticed that one Welsummer chick is pecking pretty hard on a...

    9 Week Old Guinea Fowl

    My guinea keets are now 9 weeks old. I've been feeding them 28-30% game starter/grower. What now? Do I keep feeding them this? If so, how long? If not, what do I transition them to? Thank you!
