There once was a guinea keet named marsha, she had a keet friend named bill. One day she and bill were free ranging next to the silkies, when suddently a huge brown and black dog attacked them.
marsha ducked into some tall grass, but billy didn't make it. :(
he was killed by the big bad...
Everyday around 12:00 my guineas would go to the barn to lay, and i would find seven eggs. Then on Saturday my guineas stopped laying in the barn and now everyday at 12:00 they go to 20 acres of spiny thorny sharp blackberry bushes all stuck together in one big forest. I bet they are laying...
I have a little sister, she is 11 years old. she said that she had a scary dream about chickens last night... she said that she dreamnt that she was sleeping in bed, then all 70 of my chickens laid hundreds of eggs on top of her. then all the roosters crowed in her ears at once so that she woke...
I got my guineas as keets two years ago, last year they were laying well.. i have 12 guineas in total. I know that most of them are gals, and some on them are boys.
The weather here is breezy, rainy, but warm. When do you think their laying season will begin?
A month or so ago i made this post about an injured guinea keet. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=7803616#p7803616

Help my guinea keet was pecked a lot on the head by another hen i have. He is fluffing up his feathers, and shaking. and he has no friends because a dog killed the rest of the keets. and he has no mother.
My guineas go to the coop to roost at night by themselves.
They run up to me begging for treats.
They don't go to far.
I raised them myself from little keets.
I had two guinea keets free ranging while i watched, but a dog came snatched one and began shaking it. I ran over and got the keet from that brute. But the other keet gone missing. I could not find it anywhere. Now i only have one guinea keet.
Will it die from loneliness if it is all alone...

This is a crossing chicken club.
We talk about crossing chickens. and we cross breeds and post pics of them.
We can start with: polish/silkie cross
barred rock/silkie cross

I planted a ton of em this spring. And we had some snow last night so now my marigolds won't survive out anymore (to cold).
I have like a hundred plants, with nice orange yellow blooms. How do i get my chickens to eat them instead of ignore em?
