I wouldn't use them, Peas need to dunk their beaks in the water up to the nares so they can flush them out. If they can't flush the nares they get sinus infections.

The best place is at your local Co-op or feed store, barring that you can get it at most farm stores. Buying in bulk at the Co-op is usually cheaper in the long run.

We have a couple of adult males that roost on our back deck just outside our sliding glass door of our bedroom. With the door open all night during the summer they are a bit loud but rarely do they wake me. If I need to be woken up for a reason the **** guineas do that.

Like Joe said the guineas are a constant yap-yap, yap-yap, yap-yap all day long. Pea calls are louder but you will miss it when the season is over.

They may or may not get along, it kind of depends on how much area and how many hens they end up with. I do not let two cocks of three years or older bunk together. One mature male and a yearling usually get along but junior can cause problems when the birds are mating.

If he has been doing it for a long time and enjoys it then it becomes a two edged sword. Retirement can be like a divorce.

He's got to be afraid to retire, the only place he gets any rest is at work. I retired at 57, I work harder now than ever.

I definitely had problems with my Hatchcraft hatcher, it would spike the humidity and leak water out the front door. That is when we quit using it for the peas. Then we just let the GQF do all the work, but then they still had a bad hatch rate so DW insisted we leave the pea eggs in the...

Wow, if I had that kind of hatch rate I would have been over run with chicks, I barely have enough room for the 50 that I did hatch out and raised. I still have most of them to sell yet. The new brooder/coop is for using broody hens to set. That is why four of the inside pens are 5 x 9, I...

The GQF is forced air and a lot of air gets pulled in and flushed out so I don't think that is my problem. It could very well be the problem with my Hatch Craft for sure although it hatched chickens and guineas just fine. I found that my old antique Surehatch redwood from my grandmother works...

Oh, I know what you are going through, I have no hair left to pull out after last year. So many duds, and so many fully developed eggs that for some reason unknown to me just failed to peep. I am hoping that the clears were caused by too many young hens in the breeder pens, and that the...

Don't forget that hen health and nutrition are the building blocks of successful hatching.

You can use Safeguard for goats, two ml per peahen, one ml per chicken. Mix it in their food for five days then again in ten days for another five days.

Quote: You got that right! I have all the materials for the new 28 x 50 run, (not counting the coop) $800 bucks. Got a tip for anyone needing barn tin, if you have a Menards close by, back in the yard they have a pile of returned, and damaged materials and they sell the barn metal for $1.50...
