    Guinea keets!

    The last few days have been 71. I saw 68 two weeks ago, but mostly it hangs around 70

    Guinea keets!

    I do have a question for you if you don't mind me asking. My keets are looking pretty feathered. Is it too early to take their heating plate out? When I put them to bed at night they're not under it, but I don't know if they're using it in the middle of the night. Excuse the mess. They got...

    Guinea keets!

    Thank you! They are fun to watch. I tried to see if they would eat from my hand yesterday and they would come up and then run away. They kept doing that until they decided mealworms weren't worth the risk of coming close to my hand. 😁

    Guinea keets!

    Oh! Good to know! I plan to have the guineas roaming my property outside of the chicken pen once they're bigger. I want them eating up any ticks they can find. The brooder they're in is actually a mobile chicken coop I no longer use, so it'll get parked somewhere so they have their coop, food...

    Guinea keets!

    No, I bought them already hatched. I got them from Tractor Supply(I know...maybe not the best place😬🙈). I honestly wasn't sure where you bought keets, so it was a start! 😁 The guy at Tractor Supply was saying raising keets with chickens helps give them more chicken tendencies. The babies were...

    Guinea keets!

    That's great to know! Thank you for sharing! I've been feeding them mealworms so far. They seem to like it! I'll look at getting them something else to see if they like it more😁🙌. So I tried to get a hen to raise the keets, but I don't think I did something right. I separated the keets from...

    Guinea keets acting restless.

    Oh wow! I didn't know they could get so comfortable around people! I had read if you handle them a lot as keets they will get used to you, but everywhere I looked it was the same. They can be used to your presence, but not like chickens can be. Mine are only 2 weeks old. Is it too late to try...

    Guinea keets acting restless.

    Hey guys! I've been noticing the past day or two that the guineas are looking through the hardware cloth on my coop and pushing against it like they want out. I've taken them out a couple times to let them eat grass and explore their little pen I made them. Is that a good thing? I've tried...

    Guinea keets!

    Oh yes! They have a little container in their brooder they have full access to. 😁

    Guinea keets!

    Thought I would share some pictures of my guinea keets. 😁I'm so excited about them!! Yes they are outside, but I live in an area where it's about 90°F in the shade. In my research I had read if you can get them into their coop sooner, then it'll help imprint on them that this is home. I kept...

    Hello! New to the crew!!

    Hi everyone! I am new here. I signed up a couple months ago, but apparently I forgot to introduce myself!! I'm in Northern MS and I have chickens, ducks and recently added guineas to our flock. The guineas will free roam once they're old enough, but for now they're in a brooder out in their...
