Okay guinea went broody Wed. so we put her in a dog crate with a tarp over it on the front porch. She has rammed the front of the crate several times, and knocked over all food and water. We decided to open the crate ~ an hour ago to see what she would do. She calmly came out and walked around...

When checking nest tonight, I found my only white guinea sitting on the fourth nest. My first thought was really out of all of them the "neon sign" is the one. So I set up the dog kennel and that is where she is now. Fingers crossed everything goes well and we have keets in 28 days! Side...

This is our first round of chickens and guineas. We count every night in the coop, and over the last two weeks we are down ten birds. No sign of anything. Yesterday DH was off, and able to walk out into the brush, and found three feather piles. Our guess is coyotes. Can we use the big hog trap...

I am new to chickens and fresh eggs. Never to my knowledge had a fresh egg and was very much looking forward to the experience when my neighbor brought me a dozen.

The coop is finally finished, so we moved the guineas into the holding pen, and put the chickens that they have been rooming with in the brooder into the coop this evening. Let's just say I have turned the guineas world upside down. (or so they think) They are six weeks old today, and had not...

I have 10 4wk old guineas, that at 6wks will go into a holding pen in the coop, as I would like for them to be coop trained at night. Last night the next door neighbor brought home 2 adult guineas, and released them right away. My question is, if those two stick around, will I have issues with...
