    Torn off wattle!

    Hi! I have a Rhode Island Red hen who my husband just found laying upside down in the food trough! It looks like someone was fighting her for position on the upper roost as there was blood on the walls up there. So, reading here I see that it's not abnormal for that to happen, and that even some...

    Best flooring for cold weather?

    thank you! Do you keep a light bulb in there over winter? Not necessarily a heat lamp but just light. And do you ever clean the litter out or just let it keep composting? Does it attract mites?

    Minnesota!

    sounds like you have a handful with Ed. I plan on letting the guineas fowl free range while my chickens only free range while supervised. At least thats the plan for now anyway. Will guinea roost in trees? Yes, you can count me in for babies if you hatch any :)
