So, I raised 4 guineas in the garage. We let them out to play, and they flew away. We have searched, called the neighbors, and no sign of them.
Everyone told me they would come home...3 months ago! Before we get any more, what do I do to not have this happen next time?
I wanted them to garden...
I have a Cayuga duck, and her first eggs had a blackish, tarry coating. I washed it off, and the eggs seemed fine. It has been a few weeks, and the coating is all but non-existent. Is this normal?
I am converting an old horse stall (in a metal pole barn) into the winter chicken coop.
It is 12x12, tongue and groove 4 ft up on two sides and 8 ft on the other two.
I plan to put on a plywood roof, wire over the two open sides and a few heat lamps up.
Do I need plywood sides over the open...
We have built a low boxed pen for our chickens. The plans did not have any roosting poles.
What have you done to add a place for your pullets/chickens to roost?
We added a shelf and milk crates for nesting boxes.
Thanks!
