    **Update our broody hen** So, yesterday when i came home from work, i wanted to check on our broody Wyandotte (we call her “little sister” because she’s smaller than her big sister).

    Hi @drumstick diva :frow I was told guineas aren’t very sociable from nature, but if you ask me personally, i do think they are.. That is, if you start giving them enough attention when hatched (mine where hatched in the incubator) they can become very social. I have to say i did all kind of...

    Yeah, well, i had 11 but when i candled them on day7, there were 6 of them who didn’t make it/not fertile. I do have more eggs tho, but i’m not sure whether i should hatch them or not..also has to do with lack of space at our home:hmm

    Wow, we don’t have that kind of predators around here, anywhere i think..just foxes and some predator birds (not in our neighbourhood). If we were moving to the country, we def would take measures to keep those predators on a distance. Good to hear you’re in a good spot now, and maybe you’re...
