Question - if I just wanted *1* giniea - would that be bad? would it be upset by the chickens, ducks and turkeys? would all the other birds hate it? LOL

I'm just in a pickle. I set up a pen with my blue-egg layers, EEs and a legbar, but I'm getting g a brown egg in there. It's either the EE or the legbar, and both are troubling. I'm getting a big blue egg from the layer coop, but no idea who is laying it. Lots of EEs over there.


It was just a fun project, but I really hate it when my plans don't work.

I would look at the EE's first. I have 40 ish legbars and have had more and never had a brown egg from one. I have some EE that lay a brown egg. But I mess with their genetics all the time to see the shades I can get.

My legbar is from Sally and might not be true, if it was a project. I can't remember. I only kept this EE because of her blue egg, so if it's her brown egg then she's not long for this farm.

I like playing for shades, too! I just don't have the room this year. I'm struggling to get the RIR into their own pen. It's just a mess.

One guinea would be terrible. If you cannot have 10 have none. They will torment the other birds in smaller numbers. They are pack animals and not a flock.

I so understand that.

Catherine if you want, I see that you are about to celebrate one year! Congrats!!

Do you like "Catherine", "Catherine if you want", "Duck Ladie", "The Duck Ladie" or something else?

I am confused as to why anyone would want to drink out of a duck's butt...

Give her a way better cup than that!
