    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I even found his videos more inspiring than his book because I could see the chicken run and live. Also, his attitude and behavior when one or many of his chickens died was eye-opening for me. He just saw it objective: "Only the strongest survive." I'm very sad that he deleted the videos...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I agree. He changed my mindset. I always thought that if I kept my chickens properly, none of them would be killed by a predator. But it's not like that at all. I wanted to watch his videos a lot times more to remember every little important information. Now it's not possible anymore :'(

    Is my guinea hen preparing for a hatch?

    Thanks. We pen our mother chickens up, so I'm used to this :) We have two mother chicks at the moment with chicks of different ages.

    Is my guinea hen preparing for a hatch?

    My guinea fowl hen Petra has gained a lot of weight the last few weeks. Since some weeks she layed almost every day an egg into the chicken coop into the same nest. Today, suddenly there were a lot of down feathers from her. I've recently been told that ducks put a lot of down feathers into...

    Why is my white Jersey Giant not giant?

    I asked him again. He said: "Well, I'm 100% sure she's purebred. But my personal experience with white chickens is that they're always a little behind or don't develop quite as well as the others."

    Why is my white Jersey Giant not giant?

    Thanks for your answer! No, I haven't weighed them, but I picked them up and she is definitely lighter. I mean, the height of her is the same, but she has less muscles. The guy from whom I bought them, said he only owned Jerseys when they hatched naturally and then these 3 blacks hatched and...

    Why is my white Jersey Giant not giant?

    Hi there! I bought 4 Jersey Giant hens in March. They are from natural breeding and siblings. Now they are 11 months old. I've got 3 black ones and one white one. But why is my white hen so slim? Is she still gaining mass? Is she just growing slower? In comparison you can see one of my giant...

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    Now it's official! This one is a guinea egg. Just saw my Petra laying it into a chicken's nest.

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    We feed our chickens their own shells which we break before so that they have enough calcium for their eggs.

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    No, I don't, as all of the chicken roosters we butchered had little stones in their stomach. Should I?

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    As the shell should be really hard to break, I beat it with my finger nail, but it cracked a bit. That's why I put it into my pan. And as you can see, the yolk looks completely different.

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    And this one? It weighs only 30 g. I just found it. We've never found an egg here before which was that little. It was in one of our chicken nests.

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    Is the texture uneven? There are little dots on the shell. Can you feel them with your fingers?

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    Thanks. Looks to me like a normal chicken egg.

    Could this be a guinea fowl egg?

    The left one is a Marans egg (65g) and the right one the unknown type of egg (55g). Or is it perhaps a Sundheimer or a Jersey Giant egg since we have these races since recently. I know, guineas should lay their eggs outside the coop but perhaps my guinea lady doesn't? :) Greetings :)

    Any good pics of your guineas?

    I got guineas because I was told that they keep away the hawk. We had a lot of hawk attacks in the past. Since I have my two guineas, the hawk wasn't successful since then and that is 3 months now. I even saw a hawk coming once and when the guineas started to scream it flew away. And I'm going...

    Any good pics of your guineas?

    These are my favorite photos cuz both of them look so cute on them that I wanna cuddle them. But for this they are too shy. Fortunately, I managed to get both of them to go into the coop on their own after one month of hard training. Before that, they were even more shy. Schorsch (grey one) and...
