We ordered 6 guinea keets from cackle waaaayyy back in December. Our order finally arrived yesterday!! They sent us 7 keets instead of 6. ^^
We have them in a brooder along with either a blue slate or royal palm poult they also sent. Feeding 28% gamebird starter. Is this appropriate for guineas? Or should we try to find something else? We are under a flash flood watch until Monday, so that would be the soonest we could get out for something else(creek and low water bridge are between our farm and literally everything else).
Any other tips? They are such cuties! Should we handle them or are they too delicate for that? I admit we have never had guineas(well, we were given a pair of adult guineas a couple of days ago) or guinea babies before. My aunt has guineas in her flock though, so we know we like them as adults.
