10+ Extras (if available) silkie hatching eggs from my white pen with 5 bearded silkie hens and a bearded white showgirl covered by 2 bearded white silkie Roos. I'm collecting between 3-5 eggs a day now. You will receive eggs no older than 4 days old when shipped out by USPS priority mail...
I did a search and all that came up was using FlexWatt in the incubator. Basically I was wondering if anyone has used FlexWatt in the brooder? I'm thinking of making my own "EcoGlow" style heater. With raising reptiles,I have a lot of FlexWatt laying around. Knowing tht it can get warm, I...
Well, I finally bit the bullet and let the guineas out with the chickens. I think it helped having the chickens out to keep the guineas around. They did great and are all now back in the coop resting from their busy day! When I first let them out, they all (chicks and guineas) all darted for...
So I have just started to allow the guineas out of their "cage" in the coop to hang out with the chickens and ducks (guineas are not allowed to free range, they stay in the coop and fenced in outdoor pen). Of course the chickens have to establish their pecking order with the guineas (although...
Well after much debate I decided to get a "few" chickens for the homestead for their eggs. After getting some chicks, and more chicks, I decided to add a pair of ducks to the flock as well. These guys are roughly 10 weeks old now. I believe I have a male/female pair so I decided to purchase...

I tried to search for an answer but couldnt find what I was looking for. Several days ago I moved my guinea keets from the "brooder" to the coop. Inside the coop, they are in a 2ftx6ft pen. The pen is just a 1"x2" wire fence, so they are able to see the chickens. They have been constantly...
I have read many times regarding guineas catching and eating rodents. I currently have a major Vole (yes, Voles not Moles) problem in my yard. Thankfully they have stayed outside and have no issues in the house. I was wondering if anyone's guineas are expert rodent hunters. I use this as the...
I just wanted to share my new guineas. I have had chickens and ducks for the last month or so and finally was able to find a guinea breeder close to me! I picked up 6 guinea keets (8 total, 2 for a co-worker). I have an idea of colors, but would love to hear what others say. They are a...
Just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Brad and live in southern Huntington County (about 30 mins SW of Fort Wayne). I have a wide variety of animals including 3 dogs (Bouvier des Flanders, Miniature Pinscher, and French Bulldog), a cat, an African Grey Parrot, around 20 reptiles...
