    Can Guinea's eat chilli flakes?

    Hello. I have been trying to find info on it but am coming up with nothing. I want to feed my chooks chilli flakes as I recently learned of the benefits.

    Derrick... To go or not to go?

    Derrick is my 4 month old rooster. He has had quite a bit of testosterone since he was a lad. He murdered a little dove that got in the house looking for seed, it was pretty horrific. Lately he has been down right nasty. He attacks my oldest hen who has a bad leg. He targets her and as a result...
