I am happy with mine every day, and moreso now that my chicken raised keets (whose leader they decided for whatever reason, is my black showgirl rooster) have adopted their younger raised by me keets- all are sweet. I love that they chase the Silkie and NN around and listen to them when they...

Eggs what we have a lot of, so eggs are what they get as a treat and extra. Raw, hard cooked, scrambled, omelettes, whatever. They also like cheese. No one has a perfect food for guineas as they are from Africa, and we are not. So I'm doing my best.

I live in Canada, Chewy isn't an option. Nor is finding another feed supplier as there are only 2 in total, both make the same % feed. If it could be found I'd have found it.

Chick Starter is 20%, so they also get that. Really hard to find appropriate food for them.

Egg's a perfect food, and how I keep everyone tame, plus it has oodles of protein that Guineas need. I lost 2 to them to not getting enough protein, so that has saved them- the Game Bird Flight Conditioner is only 19% and meat builder's 18%- there's nothing with higher protein available here in...

Dogfood is just a treat, whatever the dogs leave at supper, I put some cooked egg in and feed it as a treat to the chickens before they go to bed. The Guineas get Game Bird and Meat builder (high protein) feed. I'm not completely a moron, I did do research- there's not a whole lot out there...

R2elk, a question from this newbie. Of my 4 older keets (Born in June) two have quite a bit more wattles than the others, all the same age within a day, one is quite small in comparison and only hangs out with the chicken chick (a cockerel) and I'm pretty sure the second littlest one is a female...

Thank you, apparently I didn't research enough- I figured we've got through 9 and 11 years of the same geese, and raised goslings- they are still imprinted and follow us and are reasonably kind to chickens- so guinea? Oh, we'll be fine, the neighbours don't look after theirs at all, and they...

Oh lord, I am raising Guinea and while I'm an expert on most other poultry, guinea aren't my wheelhouse. So, a chicken hen hatched and raised 4, in my big barn. They are tame and chicken like in every way except sound. Then my husband brought home 5 more of their younger siblings, so I have 4...

I'd only revise my opinion if the breast turned black or dark- that is a male colour- but she looks all female to me. Wow- the crest is male-ish the way it flows now...she may become really poufy though. There's no wattles, right?

Toast is very female, and Blondie is a female colour- shes a partridge or blue partridge hen. I think more blue partridge. Here's a bantam game hen- same colour as your girl.

They are both pullets, congrats.

I've kept both, and have Seramas still, you can still hear them and know you are hearing a rooster. If I were trying to keep chickens in town though, I'd go with Seramas. Because cuter than heck and great parents. Dad's kids here- well, Mom's broody for 2 weeks and he's still taking the chicks...

Decent song from them- it's no largefowl sound, but it's a decent enough crow.

She's darling- especially how she's looking at you and the ribbon, "yeah- we did that!"

My barn is 16X12 and has 2 pens that I keep my Seramas and Silkies in, plus a large crate and I can put up more pens- for the amount of chickens its great-has loads of rafter space. I'm hoping it'll be big enough for guineas in winter- if not, they can come out the small door (under the...

They make me laugh every day with their sheer dorkiness. OOPs, not sure why these pictures are here but- the ducks are wild...raised here and decided to be tame, come when called and come for their breakfast.

My guineas think they are chickens, but I've never had a dustbathing chicken stretch out on their sides with feet pointing straight out- cracks me up. They particularly like laying beside the Showgirl's pen. STRETCHING is good for you, right? Because mine think they are chickens, they run...

I'm not sure if I'll get enough eyeballs here, and I'm sure I could just wait and see how they come out, but it's driving me crazy. My black serama hen and my brown red rooster had 8 chicks for me, of them one has a lot of white on her, and several others have a fair amount on their wingtips...

My husband brought me home 9 eggs in May, 6 hatched. They are my first guinea but I have chickens, geese, ducks, and house birds. I had to cull 2 at about 2 weeks, both developed neurological disorder- one was walking in circles, the other had wry neck that got so bad so quickly, I didn't try...
