I have 6 guinea keets born June 5th, so right around 3 weeks old. The issue is that they are terrified if I am anywhere near the inside of the brooder. I can feed/water them and they all huddle in the corner and try to fly away. I can sit on the floor just outside the cage, and they'll continue to eat, drink, etc.
Will they ever get more tame? Is there a typical age where they calm down? Any tips on helping this process along?
I give them meal worms and white millet, which they seem to enjoy. However, if I try to hand feed them at all, they cower in fear until I remove my hand. I've been attempting to use a bell to train them to come for food or treats, but they're so terrified, I'm not sure it's sinking in at all.
Any advice?
