This adorable cutie pie was just born this morning, at 11:30 AM. Daisy started intense labor probably around 6ish, and we were able to watch the birth. It's cold here (had a few flurries this afternoon) so we gave her a fleece jacket. We haven't decided on a name yet, but have narrowed it...

I found my very first guinea egg today! A while ago I'd made a little protected spot in the barn, in hopes that they'd use it when they reached laying age. My chickens used it regularly (bad girls), and I had given up hope of getting any eggs this season, since it's so late. But when I went...

Some of you may know this by now.... But I'm rather picky when it comes to showing off things. So today when I went to the fair and looked at the chickens, I came away quite disappointed and ticked off, for several reasons. The biggest reason is that so many of the birds there were way below the...

Some of our friends are involved in competition pony pulling, so today we went to the NYS Pony Pullers' Association Championship Pull at the county fair. I thought I'd share some pictures and videos with you guys. I love this sport. It is the only one I've found to be worth while and enjoyable...

I'm selling a 9 year old grade draft mare. Taffy weighs approx. 950#. Very sweet and gentle. Taffy was a former pulling pony so she knows her commands. Rides and pulls but doesn't neck rein. She will make an excellent farm or riding pony with a bit of training. Need to sell ASAP or she'll be...

My guinea pullets have been making nests for about a week now! They are almost 15 weeks old, so eggs soon! This morning my girl Helen found a nice spot in the cow barn and snuggled down in it, and then literally popped off -- a great big explosion and she flew out. It was quite funny. Then she...

I did some research here and realize it's illegal to take wild turkeys and raise them, however nothing specified if that was about raising and breeding only or if it included raising for meat. So, if you had the opportunity to take a few 2 day old wild turkey poults from the clutch up in your...

Ok. So I have FB figured out pretty much to a T, except that a friend posted on my wall today and tagged a friend of hers, and it was about a secret that one of my other friends isn't supposed to see yet. I tried changing who sees the post because I know you can choose who does -- certain...

My guineas are out free ranging for the first time today!! I am paranoid.... But they are being so good. All morning they stayed right next to the coop, and only a few minutes ago ventured down the lane toward the tractor. They've been singing all morning and afternoon too... (You'd think...

I've read and heard about the guinea/chicken hybrids but have a question about them. All the ones on the FeatherSite page with the parents listed have a male chicken over a female guinea. Anybody know if this can happen the other way around, with a male guinea over a female chicken? (Really...
