    Taming Guineas

    That is just the way they are. They are not a docile bird. No taming them. But very trainable. However when i do a welfare check at night they are calm until i pick one up and then all heck breaks loose. Best if you grab by the legs but support there bodies as not to put their full weight on...

    how many guineas make a happy flock?

    I had to whistle train my guinea. If they wanted to eat at night before they went to bed. I always gave them food to get them to the coop. I blow the whistle and they come running. Put the food down and they all come in to eat. Close the door

    how many guineas make a happy flock?

    Please give your guinea a large coop. The small coop will crowd them. They try to fly to get off the roost in the morning and try to fly to get on the roost at night. Crowded areas can cause injury to the birds. My experience is leg injuries. It will also sound like a war zone in their coop...

    Bad leg

    I can't post a pic. I tried to get the bump in his I guess shoulder to go in place and it popped a couple of times and he started using it better. But now it is just as bad as before.

    Hey I have another question. My guinea are starting to lay eggs. We have been getting a few quarter size eggs. What is causing that is it because they ate new layers?

    Thank you. My guinea hens have started laying. I am so excited. I plan on letting the hens do the work. Not me. My girls are picking up the egg laying I had 1 then 3 then 76 now 10 yippee. Can't wait. We tried to give them a nest but they totally refuse it. They want the clutch to be right in...
