    single guinea keet help

    Thank you for the suggestion of the feather duster. It has worked wonders to comfort the keet. He has quieted down so much. Still eating good/active. Haven't been able to find any other chicks to be with him so guess we will make the best of it. Greatly appreciate your sharing your knowledge...

    single guinea keet help

    I have a stuffed critter in with it, and it does go to sleep on it. I'm going to try the mirror and will go get a new feather duster. It is so scared every time I put my hand in to change water, add food, etc. I do it all very slowly, but I guess it sees anything as a threat, which is...

    Adding a rooster to flock

    I agree on the time frame for sanity sake, but what about the disease aspect, mites etc. I had read to always isolate for 2 weeks mainly for disease related reasons. Any ideas on that?
