As long as she is trying to hurt them it will not do any good to put them together. You may have to wait until they are mature enough to at least escape her.

Yes. Unfortunately she has not posted on BYC since 9/22/2014.

I don't let my guineas hatch their own eggs or raise their own keets. It has nothing to do with whether or not guineas can successfully hatch and raise their own keets. There have been many people over the years who have posted on BYC about their guineas successfully raising their own keets...

If you got the notification through the alert system, it showed that the thread was Guinea Talk. If you scrolled up to the top of the page you could have seen that it is the Guinea Fowl forum. You must not have bothered to completely read my post because you are basically repeating what I...

Since this is a guinea forum, I assume that we are talking about guineas. Guineas take approximately 4 weeks to hatch not 3. I have found that it is really easy to break a guinea hen from being broody. Take the eggs away while she is watching and she will abandon the nest. Of course she will...

Yes they have taste buds. The trouble with guineas is that they form their likes and dislikes at a very early age. It is difficult to get them to try new stuff once they are adults. I give my other poultry pumpkins that they delight in devouring. Because I never introduced pumpkins to my...

I haven't had peacocks but I can confirm that African geese are definitely noisier than guineas.

Actually, it didn't enter my mind. My guineas do not fly over my garden fence as they have lots of other things that interest them more. If a person wants their guineas to "police" their garden, do not feed the keets or any age of guinea with treats from the garden. My experience is that...

I shut my guineas in the coop every night and have not lost a guinea in all the years that I have been doing this. I do not allow any of the hens to sit out at night on a hidden nest. Before I put my guineas in a coop at night, I lost every single one of them to Great Horned Owls. I have not...

I have raised guineas both ways, imprinted with chickens and not imprinted with chicks. I did not see any difference in the "tameness" of the guineas based on being raised with chickens vs not being raised with chickens. I do see a difference in their "tameness" based on how the person...

Guineas are not chickens and do not act like chickens. Chickens can not understand guinea behaviors and often get very badly stressed when the guineas pick on them. Normally it would not turn out well for the chicken to the point where the guineas may actually kill the chicken.

If you are getting soft shell eggs, you need to provide them with a source of calcium. You can give them layer feed but definitely need to provide them with free choice oyster shell. Guineas tend to lay large clutches of eggs before going broody and often use communal nests. They will go...

Ground level.

If they were my guineas, I would take a long stick and chase them out of the trees any time they fly up into them. Many repetitions of making them uncomfortable in the trees will convince them that is not where they want to be.

That is normal but will calm down after their mates have been selected in breeding season.

Provide hiding places for the picked on keet. The hiding places must have an entrance and an exit so they can't get trapped in them. Treat the wounds with Blu-Kote.

The fight was probably due to dominance issues and since he has been away from the flock the issues will immediately arise as soon as it is returned to the flock. More space and hiding places will be beneficial.

Some guineas start buckwheating at 6 weeks old. Yours are old enough to start hearing the hens buckwheat but both can make the male sound. Good luck.

Actually it is now called the Helmeted Guinea Fowl Color Chart and has been back for awhile. The formatting has changed so you can't get an idea of what the guineas look like without clicking through to the actual images. The other sad part is that they turned control of the site over to a...
