I have had chickens for several years, but this is only my second year with ducks. We have Khaki Campbells and this year we bought Cayugas from Rural King. They are beautiful birds, but out of the four we bought, three were drakes. One didn't make it to adulthood. Anyway, my Cayuga gal started...

We have one roo too many and would like to rehome this pretty boy. He was a year old May 1st. He does his job with the girls, but is somewhat aggressive with small children. My kids have not been hurt by him, but they have been scared which is why he is the roo to go. His tail is much...

I have (had) 5 guineas. Yesterday, I noticed that they were not all hanging out together as usual. At bedtime, none had made it inside the chicken coop. Normally, they all come in every night. My daughter found one caught in the netting. After I freed her and placed her inside, I went looking...

We have a beautiful Easter Egger Rooster named Claude, who is in need of a new home. He is low man on the totem pole of three roosters and his life is difficult here. In an effort to find someone to boss around, he has shown aggression towards the children. Thankfully, no one has had any...

I have 14 approximately 26 week old pullets some of which have been laying for about a month. Initially, I'd get an egg or two every other day. Then consistently 2 a day. Then, about two weeks ago, I was getting about 6 a day. One day I even got 8. But in the last week, I have been getting...

I have (had) 18 guineas living in a hen house with my 20 chickens. Last night we had a storm and a branch fell on the netting of the pen. So, we cleared that this morning early and about 30 minutes later, I came out to see my "Frontyardigans" and one of the guineas was lying dead- still warm. No...

Hi, gurus of chickendom! I'm enjoying my first ever chicks. I have learned that at least two of my "Auracana pullets" are actually EE cockerells (and that those are all EE's)! Anyway, my question today is about a sweet little barred rock named Amy. All the chicks are the same age and hatched...

Hi! I'm ShakeragSusan and I'm both new to the forum and new to chickens. We live in western Kentucky. I've had dogs all my life, but this is my first foray into "farm" animals. My flock currently consists of 18 guineas who are about 5 weeks old and 21 two week old chicks. I have Easter...
