    Adding Keets to Broody Hen with Chicks...?

    Seems like 1) its a bad idea to add keets to a hen 2) I need more than 3 guineas It’s always challenging when someone has little to no experience on an issue and gets polar opposite suggestions. Mostly because there isn’t a one-size-fits all solution. But I think this answered my question...

    Adding Keets to Broody Hen with Chicks...?

    I may. It fit in both categories but the primary question is about whether a hen would adopt more after raising her own for 1.5 weeks. The chicken thread seemed more applicable.

    Adding Keets to Broody Hen with Chicks...?

    They are French Guineas...a much larger bird. But we will be getting 3-day old keets. I figured because they are a bigger guinea they would grow fast and catch up quick...but maybe not...?

    Adding Keets to Broody Hen with Chicks...?

    Lame and Weak Gosling - Advice?!

    Thanks Ayam. He does seem to be getting stronger. I am not sure what the cause was...vitamin deficiency from the feed or some viral infection. Appreciate the tip on the waterfowl site. I haven't seen that breeder before but I will look into it.

    1 Week Old Chicks Eating All the Grit

    Well I went with @Azygous and put a small container of grit in there and continued to give them small treats. They did exactly as predicted, filled up on the grit then moved to the food. All is well! Thank you for the advice!

    1 Week Old Chicks Eating All the Grit

    Hi guys - I just got my first batch of chicks in. They are a mixed batch of 7. They seem to be doing pretty well so far (no pasty butt) but I have an issue with the chicks eating grit. The first day the chickies ate starter - they definitely know what starter is as they have gone through...
