    New in SW Ohio

    I’ve been reading on this site for a long time. But recently decided to join. My grandmother raised chickens and I’ve had various breeds on and off for over 60 years. I currently have Ancona Ducks, Guinea fowl and Liege Fighter chickens. I got tired of losing birds to predators and decided to...

One of my guinea-fowl pullets just got nailed by a hawk whilst the others were sounding their alarm and hiding in the bushes. My giant cochin rooster & other roosters couldn't...

    Is this a guinea or a chicken?

    We found this little baby hiding in our yard a few days ago. It looked after itself for two days(we don't know how long it's already been doing that before we found it) until we took it in when predators tried to catch it. We're trying to find a home for it now, but can't figure out what it is...

    Guinea Imprinted on Rooster

    I have a rooster, Casanova that was raised with guinea keets and other chicks by a hen. He knows he is a chicken. The Guinea is madly in love with him, guards his pen and keeps an eye on all of my birds but prefers to gawk at Casey and hangs out around his pen all day. The bond this Guinea has...

    Dark Areas on Guinea Eggs

    I have only ever incubated chickens, so I’m not sure if guineas should look like this. Are these two eggs dead? The first two pictures are the same egg, the second is a different. They have dark spots that don’t look like embryos. I’m thinking the last one could be a blood ring, or at least the...

    6 Week Old Guineas Escaping

    My second flock includes 15 chicks and 3 guineas. My plan was to give them outdoor time every day over the next several days and put them back into the brooder each night and then eventually start putting them into the coop at night with the older flock until they are well integrated. I made up...
