I have 5 pearl guinea keets, fully feathered.
I have a 6th with an injured leg that may or may not heal straight (it was wrenched and caught in a wire area, but the guinea is fully operational hopping around with its buddies on one leg) you are welcome to for free or it may stay with mine and...
Please don't laugh at my ignorance, but these are the ones that have not crowed but I think are roosters. I believe I've got at least 16 or 20 that are roosters. These are pics of a few, hatched May 15. Let me know if you spot a hen in any of these pics! Before I give them all away for free on...
So three weeks ago a dog took out every single one of my hens (12) and the mean ol' rooster that was destined for the crockpot.

Question... there is one with literally no fluff on its neck and a tuft on its head, is it possible they sent me a naked neck...

I'm going to order some mixed brown egg layers from a hatchery online and can get them early next week...
