    Stray Guinea

    The guinea hen went into the coop this morning and has been very quiet all day. She just sat in the window. Not sure if she is sad or just subdued. Is a quiet guinea hen a good thing?

    Tell How Predators Got Your Chickens. Save Somebody Else From The Bad Experience

    My neighbor had her chickens free range and all were taken by a fox and one by a hawk. We're trying the fenced in & covered area for them during the day and coop at night. We will see how that works.

    Layers or meat birds??? How can I tell?

    Fleas in my coop - help!

    I took a class from a chicken farmer and she recommended Frontline in the spring and fall. Prevents lice, mites and fleas. You can't eat the eggs for 5 days after treatment.
