Howdy Ya'll. Thought I'd join up. I had my Dark Cornish hatch out 7 on the 2nd and just started a batch the 6th. Not an April hatch a long but the next batch will be.

I found eggs and will be starting my first hatch on Thursday! Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. I'm sure this won't happen to me... and hasn't happened to anyone else here either.

Thanks! Same to you!



They're good! I watched them all eat, drink water, and poop pellets yesterday.

.



The layers are good, guineas are bad, honas are good, juvies are good, chicks are good, and other chicks are good. I wouldn't mind making some sales, but we're not desperate yet. Great! What's wrong with the guineas, or they are bad just because they are guineas? I'm glad the rest are all good.

They're just bad guineas. I'm pretty sure they're herding the chickens into the old yard and keeping them there, because I've been coop training for about three weeks now. Of course I can't catch them.

I was going to get some guin eggs at some point. I dont know anything about them, do they roost in coops at night?
Mine would when they were younger, but only on rainy nights. Now they roost on a collapsed gazebo frame right outside my kitchen window, rain or shine.



Granny kept hers in their own house. I let mine get too wild. But I love them and wouldn't get rid if them for anything. They crack me up, and they keep my boy entertained. They just trot in patient circles while he hollers "GET THOSE GUINEAS!" And runs full tilt. I'd love about 40 more.

Funny! I've thought about getting some, maybe at some point I will.

I am in. Most likely a late setting in April.

Hello and welcome!

Yea! I am already incubating eggs, but i will be going for a few hatches!!

Is there a link for the poultry drawing? I painted a panel for my dads canning cupboard. I have 5 more to do!

Hello, the Fowl drawing has not been set up yet, but I Sally has already told you that.

I have well over a dozen scovy eggs to set today!! I guess I better do some reading soon!!

Scovy, how many days on those?

Morning everyone! Have a great Tuesday. @campingshaws after reading about your guineas I may need to add them to my plans.

Hello!

I'm thinking about the guineas too.
