HI! Welcome to BYC. There is one member on here from Mtn. Home, but I don't know anyone else up there close. I go up every few months to visit family in Flippin & Monkey Run.

Maybe you could get him some cool hatching eggs.

Howdy Catherine! and Welcome

We can't keep roos since we live in the city. I am raising up a group of frizzle polish right now, I am sure one will be a handsome rooster. Once we know who is who I will let you know. We go up to Mtn Home to visit family several times a year, so maybe we can bring one up with us for you at some point.

Hi Catherine, Just wondering what kind of bunnies you raise? thanks

Hi Catherine!

 

[luvarabhorses]

I may ask all of BYC later, but for now, does anyone else have a really mean crazy guinea? My turkey hatched out a single guinea last year after some dog problems where her own eggs were destroyed and the rest of my guineas killed. She raised the male guinea. Once a week or so his "Mother" chases him around like she is going to kill him now that he is grown. We have a big big pen. The Guinea will target a chicken he doesn't like and torment it. Tonight he chased the rooster in my avatar all over the pen, not letting up and then attacking him when cornered. I rescued poor Rocky three times today. I am so fed up with this guinea, but I am wondering if it was from his upbringing, being raised by a turkey??

I could be wrong, but from what I have seen and experienced when I was younger and around them - guineas like to have a very large territory. They run free over lots of ground and patrol it. IMO a confined space is the culprit and not the best situation for a guinea.

 

[roche477]

My neighbor has 8 or 9 guineas that free range over a 2 mile area. They think they own it all. They will come up and squawk at ya, but don't you dare approach them. I think it is just part of the breed. People tell me all the time they are great "watch dogs" and very territorial.
