    Run material

    Get some sweet Pdz horse stall refresher for the smell. Used it in my basement where the brooder was no smell now. Also in my coop and believe me it stunk.

    Thinking about raising geese in the Spring

    I have a barn with 4 horse stalls that aren't in use because we don't have horses. I would like to turn a stall into a goose coop. I know nothing about them and am going to be doing some research first. We live on 5.9 acres. I just bought 8 chickens and 3 Guineas in August. They are doing...

    Guinea is being mean to my hens

    How the heck would you put those on? I tried to pick my mean guinea up to transfer it to the coop outside. It acted like I was trying to kill it. Flying and pooping all over my basement (that's where my brooder was). It was screaming so loud my one dog ran away and hid in a corner of the house.

    Guinea is being mean to my hens

    I have 3 Guineas 7 hens and one rooster. I have one guinea who is kinda a jerk. He chases the hens around and pecks at them. I just moved them all to the coop yesterday was hoping that would help but not much. He only does it if he's at the feeder or waterer and wants it all to himself...

    Just finished the coop. Added chickens today.

    There is ventilation on both sides of the roof. Also there are two windows on the side of the coop. I don't have pics of those but they are covered in hardwire cloth.

    FOODS GUINEAS CAN AND CAN'T EAT

    I use the kind of meal worms that are dried and come in a big package. You are suppose to feed Guineas a high protein food. I use Dumor high protein feed for chicks. It's for Guineas, turkeys and quail but I also feed it to my chicks.

    Will fresh chicken poop kill my weeds?

    I think I'm going to keep dumping it there and see what happens. Maybe it will make a nice mulch someday.

    Will fresh chicken poop kill my weeds?

    I have a tree with these awful weeds under it by my barn. They are so bad they would break a week wackier. I have been putting my pine shavings under it that has the poop in it. Will it kill my weeds for me? I've already composed as much as I can and need a new area to put it.

    Mail Order Hatchery Recommendations for Guineas

    I just ordered 8 chicks and 3 Guineas from Ideal. They are all health and happy. I would definitely order from them again. I liked that I didn't have to order 50 like some places online do.

    Brooder idea for 11 birds?

    My Ed made me this temporarily. I called BJs and the guy was really nice. Said he might have a watermelon container by Tuesday and took my name and phone number.

    Brooder idea for 11 birds?

    I don't have the coop set up yet. Just painted the floor yesterday. It also would be too cold for them as they are not fully featherd and there is no electricity in the coop. I will maybe try the watermelon thing. So far none of these stores have been helpful and just look at you like your...

    Brooder idea for 11 birds?

    I already have the chicks. They are around 1.5 weeks old. I was going to put cardboard around the sides and do a top of some kind. I have a large dog crate but it's not much bigger then what I have them in now.
