My guinea hen has one very swollen toe all of a sudden. She seems otherwise fine and was running around eating just fine this morning. She's not very people friendly, I didn't raise her so I'm honestly amazed I was able to catch her to get a picture this morning so I'm not sure there's much I...
I have no crowing or dominant mounting behavior going on and they are all last springs chicks, roosters were all sent away this summer (I thought). I swear I've seen them all sit and lay an egg in the box but obviously someone has gotten by me because that's a fertilized bullseye is it not...
If you would like something to compare to here is my LB cockerel at 8 weeks before I rehomed him
And here was my pullet at 8 weeks
Notice the diference in their tails, this is the best one I have
I might be new but I don't put any stock in the 3 row pea comb thing, everyone swore my EE...
Just got a third!! Still pretty small, after checking all my vents again I think they have all been from my BA, she is about 2.5 fingers and looks way more moist than the others who are all 2 fingers or less... Who knows since they won't let me watch

Good to know thanks Ill leave the other one in there it's not hurting anything... If I'm remembering correctly she's 3-4 weeks younger than my oldest 4 because our store was having issues getting them in.
Also how large of a nest box does she require? My nest boxes are all milk crates, then I added a larger one on the floor with her in mind. It's an old litter box, maybe 12x18 or so...
I have no roosters left only hens, and she was calling for the first couple days and now she just talks softly no louder or more often than my chickens I would say
