Hi Im looking for 4 or 6 guinea keets for sale. Upstate New York. PM Me if anyone has them available.

An older gentlemen gave us his peacock and peahen late last summer. He is sick and couldnt take care of them anymore. After a few ridiculous attempts, we werent able to enclose them sucessfully, since they are full grown and very hard to catch. We fed and watered them this whole terrible winter...

Hello, I just got a male peacock that was loose in my town. The owner didnt want it anymore. I have chickens already, I put the peacock in a dog kennel inside my chicken coop with some food and water. How long should I wait before I let it out with my chickens? Im nervous its going to fly away...

Hi all, I have a broody hen with many well developing eggs (ive been checking them!) Im concerned once they hatch, that the setup I have might not work out. My broody is in her nesting box which is about 3 1/2 feet off the ground in a row with 8 or 10 other boxes. The chickens have to climb up...

I have a 2 year old hen, I just noticed yesturday that she wasnt really walking around just kind of laying in the grass trying to eat the bread I was throwing out. Her comb is slouched over, very dark red and when I picked her up (very easily) I felt that her whole bottom end was bulging. I...

Good Morning!!! I just woke up to find my broody has two babies sitting under her with 1 or 2 more to go. I have a large coop, run, and fenced in area for my chickens but pecking unmercifully has been an ongoing problem which sparked the fenced in area expansion. I am afraid that my older...

I hate to have to do this, but I have to give up my 2 year old Bluetick Coonhound. We dont have a fenced in yard and we live on a busy road. It is just a matter of time before she gets hit by a car. I hate to have to tie her up or kennel her for the rest of her life but at this point I have no...

Has anyone on here had good luck with these? I am trying to discourage the pecking that is going on in my flock. This is a last ditch effort since Ive done everything else. Also, how long do you keep these on for? Im afraid that my chickens wont be able to get up to the roosts at night.

Hello... I just hatched a chick from my own chickens and Im wondering what do you experts think it will look like when it feathers out. I had a Black new jersey giant roo and I have RIR, BR, Golden Comets, and Production reds for hens. Not sure who layed this one.

This chick hatched around 4pm lastnight, I am planning to move it to the brooder around 8 or 9 tonight when I get home.... I have 3 ~2week old bantam chicks in the brooder already, any tips on the integration? Should I put up chicken wire to block this new chick off for one day and let everyone...

This is my second time incubating and after one disastrous experience I finally had a pip around 7am this morning!!!!! I just went home and took a pic so this is how far it has progressed since:

Ok so I just went out to the coop area to check on my chickens and I walked in the coop and my favorite RIR named "ladybird" was standing on one of the high perches all puffed out wings spread kinda with a STONE COLD stare. it was very quiet for a minute and then all of a sudden...

Hello, I have 18 chickens that are about 1 year old, 3 bantam chicks that are 2 weeks old, and 14 eggs in the bator. I havent had any problems (knock on wood) with Marek's but I am thinking about vaccination. I dont know if my 18 1yr old's have ever been vaccinated, I didnt get them from a...
