OK, I've read through the first couple pages of posts and didn't see this question, so please link if you know where it is, or answer if you know the answer... (btw - We just hatched several baby guineas so this isn't an incubator question... my goal is to integrate new baby chicks into the...

I just posted a question asking for incubator recommendations, but of course a broody hen is the best incubator of them all... the only problem is that, out of my 8 hens, none of them have ever gone broody in the 3+ years we have had them. One 'Sophia LaHen' is our Orpington, which apparently...

Hi all - I did a quick scan through the forum and didn't see this specific question addressed - if it has been, can you please provide the link? My hens are coming up on 4 years old, and our guinea flock is slowly dwindling (they refuse to roost in a safe coop at night, and we have a fox den...

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but the only info I can find is more related to introducing keets to chickens, so I apologize if I missed something. My chickens are in a different large enclosed area and do not free range, so there will not be any physical interaction...

I'm assuming Guineas do have a pecking order, but they are clearly more social than my chickens who, now three years old still get into it quite often... meanwhile, my little keets just hang out with each other, scratch around the brooder and share their food, climb on each other, sleep all over...

I have been feeding my roughly 3 week old Keets 24% gamebird crumble since day one (I can't find 28% anywhere, for the life of me, but they seem to be doing ok), and also adding that nutri drench stuff to their water. My question is, when can I start adding dried mealworms to their diet? I...

Hello All. I received my first-ever batch of 12 keets from the Cackle Hatchery on the 19th of May, so they're basically barely 3 weeks old. We have just moved them from the brooder (4'x2'x2' steel tub) into a larger dog kennel (6'x6'x10') in the garage - same method we used for graduating our...

Hi all. Just wondering if you can tell me what this is. We bought 6 chicks back around the end of March - three yellowish/redish ones, and three black with light spots. Two of the dark ones look like they've turned into Plymouth/Barred Rock (like the one in the background), but this one is...

I everybody! I have a couple questions regarding roosters. We bought our first ever, six chickens last month. Looks like one is turning into quite a handsome rooster, unfortunately, because we only wanted hens. But we do like him, even though he doesn't seem to care much for us & stays...

Hi all - I posted these pics in my "Hi! I'm new!" thread, but figured that's old and not many will read it now... So, we have 6 young chickens, all about 6-ish weeks old. Two red (Rhode Island/New Hampshire?), two black and white (Barred/Plymouth Rock?), a big yellow that is out-growing the...

Hello Everyone! I'm retired from the US Air Force, living in Virginia. My wife and I just bought our first chickens ever in early May. We know NOTHING about raising chickens, other than what we've heard (a little bit of work, fun, easy, fun, rewarding, more fun) So we bought 6 baby...
