    "My house became a chicken coop. How did this happen!"

    Last night I heard my Husband in the other room say to himself "My house became a chicken coop. How did this happen!" I tried VERY hard not to laugh. You see, we are still working on the house we recently bought. The laundry room is still devoid of the washer and dryer. So come chick brooding...

    LGD Eating her charges

    I'm really not sure how to correct it or if it correctable. I found Freckles with another dead guinea yesterday. I assume it was she who buried it in the pasture between the coop and the goat barn. She was got to protect the goats. She is excellent at that. We are not doing so good with the...

    I'll take Chicken Breeds for $1000 Alex! (Photos to guess chicks)

    I bought these lovely chicks March 11th & 14th the day they arrived at the Feed store. They were from Ideal Poultry. Ideal is in Tx. I am in OK. So I assume they were 1-3 days old when I got them. They are a tad older in these pics. These are not all the chicks I got as some were duplicate...

    The Good Bugs, The Bad Bugs, and the Baby Chicks

    I want to feed the chicks some meal worms or other wiggly thing by hand so they don't flee from me all the time. (I don't think I can overcome the eww of roaches though) In my hunt for mealworms locally I found I am going to have to give in and drive the 40 miles to the nearest petsmart since...

    Chicken Little and Chicken Big

    I took pics of all our new chicks a few days ago. These two amazed me in size difference. I know one is a bantam and one is a standard but they were even extremes for their respective groups. They are also the only two I appear to have with feathered legs. I'll post more pics of the rest of the...

    Looks Dead Every Morning

    I have one chick who I have "revived" several times since she came home. When i bought her she was in a tub of mixed strait run "heavies" She is marked like a Brown Leghorn or a Welsummer. She is the size of the Bantams though. When we got home she looked really weak but seemed to come back...

    Dear Humans, Thanks, Your Hens (Their complaints about coop cleaning)

    If our Chickens could write I am sure this is the note they would have left me this morning. Dear Humans, Thank you for dispatching that pesky rooster yesterday. It was very considerate of you to clean out our floor and give us fresh bedding also. We are even more glad that most of the...

    Help! I found a hidden cluch of eggs!

    Now what!!! I am not at all prepared to hatch eggs. As I bought 12 pullets and ended up with 2 roosters out of that bunch. I am now at 8 hens and 2 roosters from the 12 I bought as chicks in Sept of 2010. I didn't think I was going to have a broody either. Then today, after I went to the feed...

    Wanted, Simple Breed identification site

    I looked at the Chicken Breed Search Tool here and while it is a very nice tool it is not what I am looking for. The Chick lady at the feed store had an awesome book. It had a picture of the adult, chick, and egg with the name and quick stats on each page. Looked rather like a child's book in...

    Raccoons?

    I posted this as a response on the chicken side but I thought maybe I'd see if the Guinea people had any suggestions. I am seeing many more differences in the two types of birds than I originally thought... I was all fat and sassy thinking I was doing so good with our birds .... until...

    Guinea Population

    Everywhere I read and everyone I talked to said get more birds than you want to have. Most won't make it past keet/chick stage. So I thought I'd like in the end to have about 6 chickens and 10 guineas. We have 5 acres full of ticks. They were bought for pest control and the chickens for a few...
