    VetRx for respiratory distress in pullet

    Pullet, 4 months old. I am seeing her sides expand with her breathing. She hides from her flock and the guineas and ducks. They are housed in a screened coop overnight and have access to a larger yard during the day. I have her now isolated to a coop for her to rest. I have electrolytes in...

    Poorly, cold, shrunken, guinea female

    This flock has been eating 20% Dumor Duck. This is the only female in a group of 13 to linger like this. The rest are more guinealike.

    Poorly, cold, shrunken, guinea female

    I have a poor, shrunken guinea female. She has not been feeling well for the entire fall. I thought she was worsening in the cool days and cold overnights, seeming better in the warmer days. Today we found her on the litter in the guinea coop and we could put our hands on her and lift and...

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    Thank you for recording your observations. Our pipping keet did not make it and we have other chicks under the broody, as well as keets purchased from Tractor Supply. Mother hen is tolerant of such a large family.

    What do ppl do for rattlesnakes on farms?

    The poultry yard snake count is now three: Two rats, swallowing my guinea eggs out of the ground nest, and one rattlesnake found between the small coops where the meat turkeys are kept. In catching any snake, control of the head is key. In the rattlesnake's case, trap the head right behind the...

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    Wednesday under the heat dome, and the rat snakes are out. Two found in my guinea approved nesting conditions. I still have eggs left, but no sign of nesting behavior. No nice little clutch of eggs. No worries--a buff orp in the hen house is broody, so I put some guinea eggs underneath her...

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    It is Friday and of my two "guinea friendly" nest sites in the coop, one clutch is growing in number. I might try to adjust the second nest site to make it attractive to the females.

    Second season pearl guineas nesting

    In the guinea coop I have a four sided masonite lean-to. It forms a top, back wall, side walls and a long hinged lid covers the front. The side walls are triangles. DH made a little gate in the large lid and the remaining screened lid is now covered in cardboard. It is very spacious inside...
