    Incubating and raising guineas and chickens

    We usually keep our keets separated a few days to give them a chance to get used to food and water. They seem to do better in a small area rather than a larger one in the beginning. We turned a bunch loose in our 10X12 shed and lost quite a few of them before we realized they didn't know how...

    Nipple waterers ok for ducks?

    I've never tried using nipple waterers with ducks, but I don't think it would work too well. They like to dip their bills in water to drink. Also, not sure they'd know what to do with the nipple waterers. I guess you could test it out, but I think you're going to need a water vessel.

    Incubating and raising guineas and chickens

    You have a very nice coop there. However, I think it would be a bit small for a mixed flock. Guinea cocks can be aggressive during the mating season and might hurt your chickens. Also, guineas like to roost as high up as they can get. I'm guessing that your guineas would take to roosting in...

    GUINEA HENS MATING

    I agree with redguinea. As long as your guineas have mates of their own kind, they are unlikely to try mating with your chickens. We've been raising guineas and chickens together for years and haven't had a hybrid hatch yet.

    Can anyone help me identify any of these breeds? i received bantam special from ideal and need help

    I'd say the ones with the greyish/greenish looking legs are probably what they are calling Ameraucanas. Looks like you might also have some buffs (Orpingtons) in there. Some of the striped ones could be Black Breasted Red Old English.

    Crossing half barred birds

    Since it's the rooster carrying the barred/crele gene, you'll get barred/crele chicks of both sexes from him. Because both of his parents were not barred, he is only carrying one barred gene. This means he will also have some solid/non-barred offspring as well when mated to other non-barred hens.

    I'd vote for White Langshan as well.

    Male or female guineas?

    Here's a good example of a female guinea's call. I've heard it described as "Buck wheat, buck wheat," or "Pot rack, pot rack," or "Come back, come back." Only females have the two-syllable call like this. You can search Youtube for other examples if this one doesn't work for you.

    guinea fowl have disappeared

    As long as they are getting fed, they will usually stay within the general vicinity of your coop. If you stop feeding them, they will look for greener pastures. Also, if they can hear another nearby flock of guineas, they might try to join them. If they are getting harassed by dogs or other...
