I have a young roo, about 6 months old, who has recently started walking in circles. He seems confused and a bit weird. Even when I try to herd him into the coop at night (he's always the last one in) he circles and rotates , getting closer each time until he finally gets in. He also has a...

I know there are lots of good ideas here for feeders and waterers because I've used a lot of them. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures available right now.
The easiest waterer is a 5 gallon bucket with sealable lid. Local bakeries use them for icing, etc. and either give them away or maybe...

I've been chasing my guineas (2 hens) all dang summer to find their hiding places, and every time I find a nest it seems like 15-20, one time 28 eggs that are just being wasted. Then they start over again; so frustrating. I had one sitting on 22 eggs behind the neighbors compost pile and made...
I hope this is an answer for me too. I found one of my guineas on a nest just over the 6 foot fence in my neighbors yard, of course. She sat on 20 eggs for 2 weeks but then came home to the coop for one night. I figured she had forgotten about the nest but next morning she hurried to it and...
All chickens are blind in the dark. They lack the rods (or cones?) in their eyes that allow night vision. Mine will get as far inside something as they can if I'm late to gather them up. Look in the corners of the yard, next to solid objects, etc. Do you have a dog that can go with you on a...
Just a hint; if cookies are too puffy, you can cut back the baking powder (or soda) a little bit. That should keep them from puffing so much.
Here's kind of a weird recipe:
Crisp Molasses Cookies
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking...
I got 4 guinea keets when my chicks were 3 months old and just starting to visit the garden by themselves. When the keets were big enough to go outside, I put their dog crate in the garden near the chicks where they could see each other. After a few days, they were let out into an enclosed...
