    The adventures of free ranging guineas

    Well I thought we had ours trained to stay in our yard. Then 4 birds that remained of a neighbour's flock joined ours. Up until the third week in August they wandered during the day and came home at nite to roost. They would come home a couple of times a day for treats. Then they stopped that...

    Guineas won't go in their coop all of a sudden!

    Yes, mine left their home as well this summer about 3 weeks ago. A pair had left earlier and then they all left. They come home a couple of times a day. Today some went back into their house so we locked them up, due to coyotes moving in area. I figured that they were mating and that's why they...

    911 What temp for incubator??

    Okay now I see I have a mutilated baby. He has had head pecked close to his eye. Do I stick him in a box within the incubator and try to get him healthy? Or is this a lost cause? Or are they too confinded and I should put them into the parrot's cage and use heat lamp? Any thoughts...

    Guinea cattle drive

    This spring we let our Guineas out all 8 of them. So they were happy and ran around and explored their new freedom! We have 5+ acres and it is all fenced and cross fenced. The first issue was them not being able to get back onto the property. They had company the first week, a neighbour had 4...
