    I really think I would love some guineas. But, do I need to build them a separate coop? I figure the neighbors would probably complain, so that's what's been holding me back. Ticks were bad here last year, also. Plus, I have every predator known to man. I have nine acres, and I really would...

    I have a question...I have welsummers, Delawares, and Marans coming in may. Right now, they are all pullets. But, I am considering getting one rooster. Which one would you get...or should I not get one at all? I'm torn on the roosters. I love the look of them, and having one around. I am not...

    I'd like to learn more about them. I've got neighbors close enough they might complain. Is the noise really bad?

    Great idea about the crusher rock and sand. I plan on having someone come out and take a look. I'm ready to get a little backhoe to dig a moat! I am also planning on using some rock Burms and trenching. But I like the idea of the rock and sand also. Thanks for the advice!

    Ooh, pallets are a good idea...thanks. I am planning on getting someone out here to see about how best to divert the water. My poor DH thought this chicken experience wasn't going to cost much! Funny, funny man! Little did he know! I know once the plants are eaten away, it will be somewhat of...

    How do you keep guineas from wandering away? Are they as noisy and loud as I'm told?

    Well, I went out after all the rains...OMG! The water I had running around and through my run! I could have done a backstroke in it. Thank goodness I don't have chickens yet. What are some recommendations on keeping the ground dry? I am going to cover the run, partially. But, once the ground is...

    I know chickens can be tough...I've pretty much told my MIL the same things. I just talked her into finally setting up a feced area. She started with 15 and now down to five! She had the best fed bobcat! So, now she needs more chickens, and is asking about integration. Thanks for all the great...

    Thanks for the help. I always quarantine anything new.I'm already for that. So, when integrating, do you do a howdy fence between them for awhile? Or do it at night? If you are integrating younger chicks, do you just keep them separated until they are about as big as the older girls?

    Hey all! And thank you for the warm welcome! Jeez, after reading these last few posts...it doesn't sound like I want to get any birds at a show? I used to raise parrots, and I understand people who want referrals only. I would be one of those people too. But, being new to the area, that's why I...
