Guineas are fascinating. Loud, obnoxious, dense, but fascinating. I was told and continue to hear people say they are horrible mothers, they have no maternal instincts, they’re too dumb to mother. Well apparently no-one told this 2 yr old hen because she just went and stole 21 keets and is now insisting on caring for them. They seem chill with the arrangement, well that takes a load off our shoulders thanks nana Guinea! Gibou Gamebird & Hatchery

What’s for dinner? fresh pheasant if you’ve never tried pheasant it’s something you should. It’s high in protein and it tastes just as good as chicken. instead of chicken fingers, pheasant fingers mmmm

The MOLT
This time of year I see the incessant ads to deworm the chickens, add this supplement, add these herbs, buy this all natural powder, and it drives me a little nuts. It is fall. Chickens are molting. All the old dingy feathers are being shed, many look like stuffed animals that have sprung out at the seams, bare skin is showing…but…wait…they are starting to look like two-legged porcupines - pin feathers!
Most of my girls are about half way through the ordeal, and thank goodness because they are miserable!
Molting is a big deal, they can run a fever, they don’t feel good, it is painful, their immune systems are taxed, and it is a hens most vulnerable time. So,if your chickens have worms by all means do what you think is best, but if they are molting keep the stressors as low as possible and admire the amazing process!!
Who else has chickens going through intensely severe molts this year? I feel like I should have made feather comforters for the entire northeast out of the loads of feathers I’ve raked up this year!
