    When should I introduce younger keets to an established flock?

    I have several small batches of keets up and coming. About how many weeks old would anyone suggest I put them in the Guinea coop? With chickens I aim for 6 weeks old. Hoping this would be comparable with Guinea's. All my birds have complete free range.

    Better Keet feeder?

    Rose combed turken rooster

    I acquired one turken rooster, and two hens, to complement my fledgling flock of Ameraucana's. He has a rose comb, and from what I have read, it seems that rose comb roosters have a low fertility issue. Since I have the two turken hens, I thought it might be fun to keep a rooster of this breed...
