I know it’s off their usual season and she is rather young (5 months) but this egg isn’t like the others and up to today I only had 1 egg laying chicken. All the eggs I have are from the chicken but you can see how different this one is.
Hello,
I have a female guinea fowl that has a swollen lower abdomen, like a bag hanging. She is eating, drinking, and foraging as usual. She is about two years old.
Have any of you had experience with this or know what might be the cause? Any helpful information is appreciated. Thank you
Hello all,
In light of a recent hawk attack, I have been scrambling to find ideas / solutions / preventives when it comes to hawks. Out of the solutions given to me, the most "appealing" would be getting a guard dog (takes a lot of time and money), decoy crows / owls, or guinea fowl. Yes, I do...
I was wondering if this could actually happen. My young rooster feels my guinea hen is ready to breed and has proceeded to try to mount her multiple times now but he’s so small compared to her that I have a feeling it will never be successful. I tried looking online to see if anyone has had such...
So I have discovered a rooster among the 6 pullets I had purchased. I have also discovered a male guinea of the 3 I have left from the 4 I purchased along side the pullets. The guinea has now taken to attacking the rooster whenever they are in the same section of their confinement (indoor or...
Hello- We are raising our first flock of 13 guinea fowl and have raised them from keets alongside 14 chicks. (Same coop but separate pen). Our guineas are now 6 weeks old and we are trying to figure out the best way to release them and insure that they will return to the coop at night. I have...
I only plan to have quail as far as poultry goes, so would I be able to have a small all male guinea flock? Im going to have my quail caged but the guinea roam free/cooped at night. Would having a small flock of, let's say, 3 or 4 males work?
My guinea fowl are being absolute bumholes and harassing my chickens. I’m looking into pinless peepers and bumpa bits as a last resort before I might have to rehome them to a guinea flock. I asked for females but pretty sure I got given 4 males, never seen an egg the whole time I’ve had them...
This is my first post, so thanks for having me here and please be gentle!
I have a flock of about 20 guinea fowl, and for the first time purchased 5 chicken chicks (3 Barred Rock, 1 Easter Egger, and Whitings True Green or Blue - not sure yet - all of these chicks may or more likely may not be...
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find some answers here as my research has turned up nothing.
I have two keets that were surrendered to me. One is okay, but the other has a hard time walking as it's hocks bend both ways. The keet is eating, drinking, and growing, but it has trouble walking...
Hi I literally just bought 4 guinea hen chicks yesterday from Tractor Supply. I only wanted a couple but the guy said US Agriculture only allowed 4 or more at a time. After he boxed them up for me he told me he gave me a couple smaller ones that probably won’t make it. 😳 One is slightly smaller...
Hello! Brand new to the bird world. I ordered ten guinea keets that arrived a week early, yesterday! I spent the previous weeks researching guinea for tick control. I frequently see Guineas around my neighborhood (wandering, screaming, trying to get hit by cars :D) and I’ve been fascinated. So...
Hello, I have a Guinea with an ear infection. I've cleaned to out with a hydrogen peroxide wash a couple weeks ago, & it didn't seem to do very good.
The build up inside his ear ranges from crusty yellow, to cheesy, & goopy. Don't have pictures yet.
