Oh for sure! I have just been petting her a lot! She flutters her wings when I go in and start talking to her. Now I will try the mirrors! I have some more chicks and some more keets due to hatch the end of this week though! I just didn't think of the mirrors, thank you!!!
I think they look like the doll on the "Saw" movies, LOL
I have 3 pearl guineas, one is about half grown and the only one I have raised so far.
I really like them, love their 'dialogue' when you are out around them, it is so different!
Yes, it's lavender! Sweet little baby, and I guess I get too attached to these things, at least my daughter tells me I do!
The adults I bought were regular spotted, pearl guineas....but I got there late and the man had sold most of his stuff and was fixing to leave.
I can't wait to see what...
Well, just to let you all know....I have the baby back in custody and behind bars all safe and sound! (Behind the bars of a bird cage, that is! LOL)
Here are some photos of the little rascal, you can see by the bright eyes that it is doing good so far! Love this baby, and it is going to be so...
The baby came out tonight! I think it had been under the kitchen stove! It was so cold! I tried to feed it, but it is really weak. I gave it a few drops of water/vitamins and electrolytes and put it in a warm cloth and put it back in the incubator.
Anyone have any suggestions about what to...
Thanks, SunHwaKwon, I'm gonna try that flashlight thing! I put out plates with food and water and made patterns in the food so I can tell if it gets in them. Hopefully today it will venture out to try to find food and water!
I was so hoping it would make a chirp! I even got on youtube and played...
It's the only one I hatched. In an incubator. I bought some grown guineas at a flea market and the man just gave me an egg that he'd found in the cages of the ones he'd sold.
I have looked all over. I had it in a small box with a heat bulb over it and it was getting tame, but it would chirp all...
Help! I have one baby guinea that is 3 days old and it's gone inside my house! I have turned the house upside down and haven't found it yet. I wonder if it's gonna make a sound or not after awhile? It's been gone about 4 hours and no luck yet! Any help appreciated!
I live in East Tennessee and I have googled battery hens for around here and have had no luck!
I think rescuing these hens is an awesome idea and I want as many as I can get!
I have a lot of chickens....4 guineas, one peacock....and I have room for lots more!
Does anyone have any idea where I...
Today I visited a friend of mine who hatches chicks to sell and got 6 small seramas. She said they are about 6 weeks old, but they are so small!!!
One of them is basically the size of a newborn bantam and is so lethargic that when I got home I have been feeding it egg yolk.
I am wondering if...
I had a baby like this and I used surgical tape. I put one piece on the bottom of his foot and straightened the toes to the right places for them, and then put another piece on top of the foot to hold the two pieces of tape together. His legs were okay, and once the toes were spread out in the...
I am definitely one of the ones who kiss my chickens....my guinea.....and my peachick! How can you not when they are so CUTE!
My peachick is allowed inside occasionally and he/she takes frequent naps in my daughter's hair! She has curly below the shoulder hair and it's excellent for him/her to...
Yes, I'm sure the baby's gone now. I realize that in future I am going to guard these little ones more carefully. I still have the one and he/she is getting so big! Almost as large as the peacock and they are great friends!
I have 6 more guinea eggs ordered and 6 peacock eggs in my incubator...
I just have one peachick and one guinea chick. I have them both together in a cage on my front porch and I am wondering if it would be alright to put them outside in a small fence....it's 5' long so it makes just a small enclosure....and allow them to be on the ground so they can get grass and...
Nope, this is the first guinea keet that I hatched. The hens I have nearby have all their chicks and it's not with them! The other keet that I still have I am keeping in a cage with my baby peacock and an orphan baby bantam.
Just have no luck finding this one at all! I have looked the yard over...
No, it hasn't come home. I went around the yard with a light and put the other one in a birdcage out there for a little while, but that one went to sleep and didn't chirp at all. I looked all over again today and I can't stop walking around looking under bushes and stuff!
Tonight I am going to...
My two guinea keets are 17 days old and till today I kept them in a small wire cage and put them outside on the ground in another wire cage during the daytime. Today I put them in a larger wire frame, (although with still the small holes, just more ground space) and while mowing my yard, one...
My two guinea keets are 27 days old and till today I kept them in a small wire cage and put them outside on the ground in another wire cage during the daytime. Today I put them in a larger wire frame and while mowing one of them, the smaller one, got out and I can't find it!
Does anyone have...
