    Guinea Keet Food

    Thank you so much! I just got my chicks too and one has spraddle leg, I sperated him from the rest and read that I need to tape his legs and hand feed until he is stronger and hopefully leg will fix.

    Guinea Keet Food

    Morning chickens!! I just got my keets, oh my hell, they are precious! I have 21% crumble for their food and know they need more protein, can I finely chop up hard boiled eggs for them or should I get a higher protein crumble? If crumble what brand and type, hard to find anything over 21%
