I have the same few guineas as I did last year. Pearl, Lavender, and pied of each. All babies last year were those same colors, and I kept a couple of hens from that hatch. This year, I have had two white keets pop up and now this one that looks to me like maybe a royal purple. Just wanted a...

Thanks. It's worked well for me the last couple of hatches. Maybe someone will find it useful for them too.

After doing this, I thought that there's no way someone hasn't thought of this before. Forgive me if this is a repeat. I had a few extra spots in my small LG incubator and I have been having trouble with my humidity dropping quickly. I would have to add water every two or three days which I...

Just picked up some eggs from a very nice local lady yesterday and put them in the bator this morning. Can't wait for the new colors to hatch. Had 3 dozen. Decided to let a buddy incubate 12, and put 22 in my own bator. I made a nesting box and stuck it in one of the guineas favorite little...

My guineas seem to be pairing up fine, but they switch up fairly often. Is this swinging type behavior typical or should they pick a mate and stick together. There are 4 hens and three roos and still lots of chasing/fighting amongst the boys.

I'm looking for a dozen or two hatching eggs. The colors I want are mainly royal purple, and buff. I wouldn't mind a few white as well. Looking to have them shipped to NC. Please let me know what you may have. Thanks!

All I want is a few reasonably priced hatching eggs from a certian few colors. Having a lil trouble finding Royal Purple, Chocolate, and Copper. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Such a shame about CA/s shipping rules. I'd love some eggs from your flock to add some West Coast flavor to my guinea family.

Doesn't surprise me. He's been known to exaggerate. I'm thinking that he may have thought that I said my roo would give him bigger eggs (which I did, just not in that context), and maybe he didn't want me to feel bad when it didn't work (according to his perceived context), so he just said it to...

ummm, what's a stoat?

Excuse my ignorance, but my neighbor told me something that just sounded strange to me, and I wanted to ask you all if this is possible. He has some mixed breed small / medium sized hens that lay smaller to medium light brown eggs. He wanted bigger eggs like mine so I gave him a big rooster when...

Want to buy some hens. Prefer BO, RIR, or something similar. Need them to have not started laying yet or just started recently. Prefer younger birds. I'm in Roxboro and the closer to here the better. looking for less than ten hens, but know someone near me that wants about twenty so if you have...

I thought it was kinda late, but my oldest hen went missing a couple days ago and I found her on a small nest of 15 eggs. I thought is was a little late for this on the East coast. This makes 4 times this season for her. Is that typical?

Just went in to up the RH, and saw several more pips. I had to have miscounted somehow, or maybe my hen was on the eggs a couple of days longer than I thought.

I'm not sure what to think. I put a clutch of eggs in the bator on the 12th. My hen was gone for no more than 2 or 3 days before I found her on the eggs. My best guess is that she started to sit on the 10th of june. I went to turn the eggs this morning and there was a healthy hatched keet in...

Ok, I'll try to get some soon. I have been on crutches for a few weeks. As soon as I get a little more mobile, I'll post some pics. All 18 are doing well, although I did have a scare when one of them got it's leg hung up in the handle on the feeder. Poor guy was hanging upside down by his foot...

Where was the hen during this ordeal? Did you find the nest?

Get him in a trap, put the trap in a heavy duty lawn bag, and wrap the bag opening to your tial pipe with duct tape. Less mess that way. If you are ok with the cost of the pellet gun, it will work fine.

Here at my place, a two foot fence may as well be a mile high. They will just pace back and forth forever. I've heard them called hardy birds plenty, but smart is a lesser used term with guineas. I say why not? Give it a try. I waste more money in a month on fast food than a few guineas cost...
