Ask the next time you get Guineas if you can have the femalse only. 3 or 4 should be enough and integrate them with the others and teach them to return to the coop at night. This should take care of your problem. If you have to, once they know the drill, shoo them away from the coop IN THE...
If you do not allow your flock to free range, you are going to have some very unhappy Guinea birds. Guineas really need to go out just about every day (including incliment weather) or they get pretty "cooped up" and get rather agressive.

I love silkies, so i bid on mostly them. I try not to bid on any cage that has a...
Yes, what are you feeding. For example Guinea fowl are notorious for eating feathers. They require a very high protein diet and can actually die from not getting enough protien.
We use starter for the regular chicks and game grower for the Guinea fowl. If we have both in the nursery, we mix...

You should join the GFM and be apart of the fun stuff being knocked around. If your a game player, I am sure you would

I would join, but I am not on here enough. The hubby is addicted, it really is quite sad.
At least I know where he is alot.
Nifty, I am getting along quite well sending pictures through the PM section to other people who i am doing chicken deals with doewn here in MO. However, I do believe that i can fill someones PM box to capacity very quickly with the pictures I am sending.
