    Guinea Hatching Eggs

    Looking for roughly a dozen guinea hatching eggs. Must be shipped to CT. Willing to pay as much as $2/egg with shipping as keets at my local feed store are $2 each. Really hoping to get hatching eggs though as I currently have a brooding hen.

    Quail as house pets?! and more quaily questions...

    I have raised chickens for a number of years now and as I've only had a VERY small "flock" 2-4 birds I used to keep them in a dog crate durring bad winter storms (couldn't get to my coop) and durring one hurricane (wasn't sure my coop would stay standing). Now the farm and pet down the road...

    New Flock (closed)

    Landen later died and was not replaced. Squire turned out to be a girl after all, and I sorta fell in love with Echo, and Avery. A friend took Langley and Ren, and my daughter wouldn't hear of me rehoming her Squire. Also my daughter broke my camera so I was unable to post pictures.

    Safe to give store-bought "trout" worms?

    I know I used to feed them to my adult chickens, I don't see why they would hurt your babies.

    raccoon proof exterior egg box

    I would stick with 1x1 or 1x2 mesh. On my chicken coop i used a hasp and a pad lock to keep out coons...and neighbors.

    One coop or two?

    Having two coops with one common run will mean your birds wont necessarily nest/roost where you want them too. It also means that if you have a rooster with each "flock" you will have some cross breeding between roosters and hens of each flock.

    !warning! Design Flaws Cause Death !UPDATE!

    I had a small design flaw in my coop...no way to enter the small run, the pop door dropped shut just fine when i realesed the rope I rigged, HOWEVER it didn't have a latch, as a result one of my babies got pushed by the others and ended up pinned to the ramp by the door, when I found him this...

    Help me choose a friendly breed to group with silkies!

    Cochins do reasonably well in dry heat. If you are especially worried about the heat get a lighter colored bird as no matter the breed/species (kanine/feline/equine/bovine/goats/swine/poultry) lighter colored animals do better in hot weather. AND!!!
