I am the proud parent of 5 keets.  I've never raised guineas before.  Any tips would be appreciated.

What colors did you get?

HI, I'm Ashley, I'm 18 years old and I am the owner of almost 60 critters!-18 chickens--8 Indian Runner Ducks--1 Horse--3 Pygmy Goats--1 Peacock--About 20 Guineas.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Oooh, you're supposed to do your homework first, before you get Guineas, now ya did it, lol. Just kiddin', welcome to owning Guineas! There's lots of great info on here, so kick back and have a good read thru the bazillion Guinea threads. The "Search this forum" option works good too if you are looking for something specific. But be sure to post any questions you can't find answers to and more than likely you will get several helpful answers :)

 

Raising Guinea Fowl 101 in the stickies index is a good place to start.
