I need some outside perspective on our guinea situation. I got six chicks last summer and had them set up in a separate coop from my chickens. A week after I put them out we had a predator attack and we lost two of them. After that they didn't want to be near their coop and moved in with the...

I have 3 hens not laying. All are 9 months old and previously laid. The rest of my flock is laying beautifully so I know their nutritional needs are being met. Why might these 3 not be laying? One is a Lavender Orphington who laid 3 eggs and then stopped, the second is a Cuckoo Maran who was my...
