July 11, 201412 yr A donkey or a mule will stomp a coyote to death in a heartbeat. I would have never guessed that. Interesting. Growing up in the city, the only time I see donkeys or mules on are trips out to the country or the State Fair LOL.
July 11, 201412 yr I've heard that too, but I don't eat my birds Do your hens reproduce? If so, would think you would need to eat some just for population control.
July 11, 201412 yr Do your hens reproduce? Yes they do, haven't bought an egg in about 3 years. I sell some to help pay for the feed, and give some away to people that can't afford them/or need them. If so, would think you would need to eat some just for population control.Can't have to many birds. Plus the wildlife thins for me (coyotes, foxes, and hawks).

July 11, 201412 yr How are the eggs in comparison to chicken eggs? Close to twice the size of a regular and richer flavored Sent from my GT-P5113 using Forum Runner

Very few other reasons to have a donkey now a days. They are mean hornery animals, but you still see tham in the pastures with cows and goats just for the purpose of protection.
July 11, 201412 yr How are the eggs in comparison to chicken eggs? Guinea eggs are a treat. Really good.

Absolutely. They're hilarious. I hit one right between the eyes with a 2X4 for biting me every time I turned around. We developed an understanding.

July 11, 201412 yr If they kill coyotes by stomping on them, you are lucking he didn't react in a similar manner. LOL I was feeding when he bit me. First he nipped me on the shoulder and it hurt and I yelled at him and he scurried away. Sneaky sucker came back and managed to bite me on the back of my leg. Made it purple and yellow and green, hurt like crazy. So, I leisurely went to the pile, grabbed a 4 foot long 2X4 and went around the corner of the feed lot and whacked him solidly with the skinny side. Never bit me again. Or I'd have shot him between the eyes.

July 14, 201412 yr How do the hens survive winters?I'm close to Bowling Green and I don't have any problem with my birds (guinea flow and chickens) making it through the winter. They don't like the snow and will stay in the house when snow is on the ground, but other then that they are fine.
