Hi all! I have another question about my young guinea flock... About a month ago, when they were about 3 months old I started letting them free range. Soon after, I noticed one guinea acting very strange. It was struggling to keep up with the rest of the flock, acting sick or crippled. It...

Ok, that makes sense! Thank you so much for the reply :)

Hi all! I've been raising chickens for about 7 years, but I'm new to Guinea Fowl and I have a question! We recently moved to a very wooded area on a small river. There are hundreds of acres of woods behind our house, 4 of which belong to us. We've had a terrible time with ticks, so I decided...

Good morning, everyone! The second chick hatched last night, and both babies are doing great! I have them in a brooder on our screened in porch so I can raise them to be really tame. Here are some pictures of the first one hatching yesterday and the two of them in their brooder this...

Dobieslady1, the chicks are adorable!!! What breed are they?

UPDATE!!! I got home from work and the egg that was pipped this morning was just unzipping! I got to watch the whole thing and take pictures! The chick is doing fine so far, and the second egg is pipped! I am late to dinner with family so I will have to post pictures in the morning...

Thanks everyone! Last night I isolated the 2 remaining eggs and 1 hen. This morning 1 of the eggs was pipped! I will update you when I get home from work this afternoon. Yes, this hatching was just an afterthought - I just thought I would give the eggs a chance to hatch rather than throwing...

I guess you are all right...It does make sense that the hens would just keep fighting over the chicks even after they hatch. I guess I just assumed they would be more gentle and not take their frustration out on the chicks...but I guess hens aren't quite that smart mccabe, I will take your...

My 3 broody bantam hens have been passing the same 4 eggs back and forth for the past 3 weeks, and surprisingly, they are all developing just fine. The problem is, 2 of the eggs have hatched, and I found both babies pecked to death! I wasn't seriously trying to hatch the eggs at first - There...

Hi all! I have two Silver Sebright trios for sale if anyone is interested. I also have 2 OEGB cockerels I am trying to find a home for - free to a good home! Also, I have a mixed breed laying bantam hen that I call Aubie. She is a cross between a Silkie and a Mille Fleur D'Uccle, so she is...

Great job! That is a very beautiful pond!!!

Hello everyone! Does anyone know where I can get 2 or 3 ducklings near Birmingham, AL? I would prefer Mallards, but am not too picky on the breed. Thanks in advance! -Melissa

Hi all! Hope everyone in AL is doing ok after the storm! Does anyone near Birmingham have any ducklings for sale? I am interested in getting 2, but not really concerned with the breed too much. I want a breed that will make good pets, but beyond that it doesn't matter. Hope you all have a...

Does anyone have any hatching bantam eggs for sale for a reasonable price? I'm preferably looking for bearded Silkies, but I'm open to other options. My Silkie hens have been broody for almost 2 months now, so I've finally decided I want to let them hatch something.

Thanks for the replies. I will try to post a pic when I get home from work. It's hard to see unless she's looking straight at me. She's eating/drinking just fine and seems to be developing right along with her brooder-mates, so the beak doesn't seem to be affecting her at all...it just looks...

Hi everyone. I have a 5 week old Silkie chick that I got from Cackle hatchery, and I just noticed the other day that its beak is crooked on its face! It is not a crossbeak - the top and bottom of the beak line up fine - but the entire beak is pointed sideways, sort of like the whole thing was...

I only have 2 left right now. I still have a few eggs that have yet to hatch though, so hopefully I'll have more soon.

lol I've never seen an Emu chick before! It's super cute, but it sort of looks like Lady GaGa. I totally want to raise Emus now! Thanks for this thread Lilpeeps!!!

I have several white Silkie chicks for sale. They were laid and hatched by my Silkie hens. They started hatching Saturday April 3 and some of them hatched on Easter I will not ship them, but I would be willing to meet you somewhere if I am too far from you.
