I have this problem sometimes with my guineas attacking my turkey. Its usually just establishing a pecking order and showing them who is in charge. Sometimes if they get bored or dont have much they will start attacking each other. Another thing that might be causing this is stress. Their could...
Do you have a problem with the bucks smelling? I heard that sometimes it can cause the does milk to taste off as well. Can I house them in one barn but have separate pastures for them?
Ive got a big mixed flock. I recently got silkies but I have plymouth rocks, rhode island reds, dominique, wyandotte, australop, ameraucana, polish, welsummer, cream legbar, appenzeller spitzhauben, and im sure i have missed some. I also have two turkeys, six ducks, and four guinea fowl.

Have you tried fermenting other feed for your ducks? I'm only asking because I have three ducks and I'm wondering if they would like fermented feed. I know chickens do but I'm hoping that my ducks will as well.
Hi! I had some questions about fermenting whole grains. I couldn't really find anything specific on it but I heard that whole grains need different fermenting techniques than crumbles and pellets? I tried fermenting before and the next day it had mold on it. Does the batch need to be completely...
