Just old pictures My flock got killed by Coyotes last summer. I will have to search my back up drive to find them. deb

Glad to have you here. I love meeting people from other countries. This particular Thread of conversation will get more active later .... I hope. I don't have guineas right now because Coyotes came through and killed all my poultry. This spring I hope to start all over again. There are...

A Great BIG Welcome to Back Yard Chickens from San Diego California.... You have a great variety of colors. What country are you in? deb

I discovered wire floors..... especially where the food and water sits. I use a rabbit cage and cover that wire floor with a plastic 1/4 inch mesh. Not too hard on the feet and poo and goo go throo. I am also using a rubber door mat for half of the cage. roll it up pull it out hose it off...

x2 best way to check is to try to crack one open. A chicken egg will crack on one tap guinea eggs take about three or four ..... um er or the back of the kinfe. The shell is about twice the thickness of a chicken egg. deb

By the way my three keets are now at the house in their little keet cage. I wound up with two Royal Purples.... I think... and one Pearl. Any pictures I have are very blurry. deb

The big parrots also love love love Pizza. Cockatiels are flock birds. Just like parrots so they need company and can use people as their social connections. If you have more than one Cockatiel then they wont be as social with you. But Gawd are they funny to watch. Mom had one hen that...

I used to raise Parakeets and Finches. I set up an aviary for mom and she raised cockatiels. When they don't have a mom they have to be hand fed every hour or so a special baby food from a syringe. http://www.cockatiel.org/articles/handfeeding.html You need to get baby formula from a...

I was looking up badgers for my area and they do live here but they tend to stick to areas that have sandy soil and are more open.... Their main food is gophers and voles and mice. My house is in very thick Chaparal, growing in very hard decomposed granite soil. But I will inspect the coop...

My Mare Misty had those in her ears. Deep inside. She had always been itchy even when I first bought her but we never looked inside her ears. OHMYGAWD it was aweful. We treated it with baby oil on wads of cotton and gauze swiped inside. It took over a year to get them cleared out. BTW this...

Gosh I dont know if we have badgers in Southern California.... Have to go look it up. WRT lime I went to several sites. And am thinking my knee problems may be associated along with my lack of stamina. I just chocked it up to being overweight. But the converse could be true.... I may be...

Woo Hoo Daylily I need to put a bottom in my coop because what ever is getting my eggs must be coming up from underneath. deb

I have eighteen acres of High Desrt Chaparal. Did you know a tick can live without food or water for two or three years just hunkering down on the underside of a leaf? deb

Yep seven adults and three keets. I hope to get the flock up to about thirty That way when they start free ranging I will have a good chance of having a sustainable flock. Egg hatching and all. I have a local dog thats not feral but his owner lets him roam Hes part wolf and part husky and he...

I was devastated. I had planned every thing out. Raise up some local Keets then when they went out to the house I got 40+ keets from Peeps. Her very first shipped order I got them up to fully fledged and waited till they were bigger than the chainlink to let them out in the coop. Once they...

I would do all three.... Baby birds Older bird and throw the eggsies in the incubator. The older bird probably just needs a home... I am a softie for homeless critters. The Keets are just the filler to fit in between the ones you hatch and how many you need to keep . In my opinion its...

Thanks Peeps I think those times where the humidity went down to 20 percent didnt help but those keets are survivors. Something is taking all the eggs up at the house. I cant gather every day so I will have to buy my next batch. Sumatras hear I come. deb

Keet one Pearl? Keet two poking his beak out Keet two exploded out of his shell See those little white wing tips Its funny they dont walk after they get out they kind of tumble and thump trying to figure out which end to keep up and which end to keep down. We didnt get pictures of the...
