    Guineas to the rescue!

    Something has been eating our koi in our pond and we could not find out what. Today our guineas alerted us to a problem at the pond. A mink! It is no longer a problem at the pond. Our guineas surrounded it and it was dispatched.

    One of my Pekin ducks went broody in the coop about 3/4 days ago. I always though they were supposed to be terrible mothers! Has anyone had luck with Pekins hatching and raising ducklings?

    Would appreciate some suggestions on getting rid of unwanted weeds, grass etc. without using chemicals that might harm my flock if they eat the treated vegetation. Anyone have any experience with this problem? The flock (ducks, chickens, guineas) all free range.
