    New barn cats.

    Nice that you saved a few feral cats. Love your "african chickens" name. Guineas are so bizzar and yet a lovable bird.

    a hen likes to roost with the Guineas.

    We have one "wild hen" game hen that will only roost with the Guinea up at the barn. She does not interact with any of the chickens and really stays to herself. She is not laying but seems healthy enough. The Guineas leave her alone and they just go about the day in different directions. Just...

    The layers get a new coop.

    We have specifically built a coop for the Laying hens. No roos and plenty of room.

    Why Guineas and Roosters don't mix

    We have 16 Guineas, One Rooster and One hen in the "guinea fowl" enclosure. The rooster and the hen go out and stay together while the guinea fowl run about in groups. When the hen stays in the enclosure, which sometimes she just does, the rooster mixes with the guinea fowl. I guess I am lucky...

In the mean time I was wondering what people are using...

    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    Hello: I have posted on this subject MANY times. I have come to a conclusion. I do not think that one can really train a particular dog to NOT eat your chickens or Guineas. I also think it is VERY dependent on the particular breed of dog. I have had two Burrnese Mountain dogs in the past few...

    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    Hello: Glad you found the BYC and the Guinea "Farm". I am sure all on here will be glad to answer any questions. Lovely Pics of the White Guinea Fowl.

    How long do guineas need game bird feed?

    Hello: it is true that once a Keet gets old enough they do not need game bird 20 percent protein as a 100 percent diet. However, do be aware that chickens and guinea fowl are very much different when it comes to nutritional needs. If you let your flock out at least every other day and the bugs...

    Research on worming chickens with albendazole

    Hello: I have been following this thread for some time. I am "subscribed". I see this wormer in the Cattle section at my local feed/farm store and it is EXPENSIVE. I have asked if they would consider getting a smaller dose in, but they state the one that costs 45 Bucks is the smallest they...
