I remove the layer crumbles from the adult feeder and put starter crumbles in there. Then I put out a dish of oyster shell for the loss of calcium the hens will suffer. The adults benefited from higher protein though. I did that for about four months.

Guineas need a higher protein feed than chick feed, such as game bird crumbles. Have a look at their feet to see if they have anything wrong with them. Bumblefoot would present as a black scab usually on the bottom of their feet. It usually occurs from birds being raised in wire cages or...

90-95 is what they should be at when hatched, so during the daytime that's perfect! Saves electricity and it's good for them. As soon as the temps start falling though I'd get them back under heat. You'll see when as they'll all be huddling up together.

This is an old thread but explains it. Buffs are like a "wild card." I have one too, a hen, so I'm excited to see what we get. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/mixing-buff-and-white.1329212/

It should be administered for 5 days, so maybe there is still hope that will take care of what is wrong. Probiotics would help most digestive issues, and should be given anytime after antibiotics or deworming meds are given. Ours get some every other day via fermented grains. You mention...

Hi, I am so sorry your goose is still sick. Had you given it any of the medications you referenced in earlier threads? This is important to know for anyone trying to help you. For reference, the other threads...

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Beautiful chickens!! Thank you for sharing. Would you mind letting me know the site you find info on mottleds? I have a pair of 4-month-old black mottled and assumed I'd just breed the two, but now I'm intrigued by what you're doing. I have a lot of...

I am so sorry. :hugs It's very sad and hard to lose one that's so special to us. She felt and knew your love, and because of you, she had the best life ever!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow We're glad you're here. I don't have a house chicken so can't say I've tried this, but many say it works well.
