Hi - been away but got a very important question for you:
one of my Guinea hens has huge, swollen feet - both feet - just saw it....
soaked in betadine water and was ready to bandage but I did not see any cuts! I saw one small cut maybe on top of one nail on one foot, but I don't think that is...
OMG, you guys! I feel like my Guinea dream is over! :(
I lost two (!) of my birds Thursday a week ago and this was after I saw a bald eagle 30' over my car on the road home, about half a mile from my house the week before that. S/he was carrying a squirrel in the claws and dropped it and I...
So I wanted to find some clear (roofing, I guess) panels to put in front of run wire walls to shield the birds from winter winds - instead of stapeling on clear feed sacks I collected - to have something more permanent I could take down in summer and re-use next winter etc. and avoid my 2x4s...
Hi All,
Sorry I have been so absent. Grieving and preoccupied.
Have a huge mouse problem and now snakes - just learned we also have water moccasins (in addition to copper heads) - my coop and run reek of mouse urine/smell/stink - mostly the run - I need to clean it out as much as possible and...
So the site came up with 4 good links to other threads when I typed in mice - I will take a look but still post this.
I am so frustrated because I tried to get rid of the snakes (and mice to some degree) by putting down hardwire cloth and cement on the floor of the run - so now I have it...
... your Guinea Hotel and Resort has been updated for your winter comfort. :gig
So, every year we are doing something else. Last year the meal worm bags were a nice, thick, clear plastic and I saved the empty bags and cut them open and used them as windshields. One year I got clear carpet...
I don't think it's ugly!

So our Guineas have lately been naughty and flying over the fence and then screaming for me to open the gate to let them back in, because, of course, they don't know how to fly back home.
What's more, there are hawks around and the Guineas screaming and running back and forth along the fence...

If you are unsure about your crippled keet (whether to let it live or kill it to avoid suffering) I would suggest posting a thread and letting others chime in to help with experience and opinions on each individual case.
This post is just to show an example of a crippled Guinea that is living a...
So I just took some photos last night for the "Frist time mom and dad raising keets" post update - they are flying now and had their first outings - then last night the dogs went nuts and I am so sorry I did not go right away to check - they woke me with barking but it sometimes happens - so I...
Oh man, I am already doing all I can think of - see if you can think of something else and let me know:
I need to treat with ivernmection pour on since we have feather mites around here and that is the only thing I found that will control them, but that means I have to catch each bird and put...
We have 2-3 now and 2-3 in 2 weeks or so. Straight run. The first two we have in the brooder box are both Lavender color - not sure what the rest will be.
Just looking for a good home.
Please let me know if you want them or know someone.
Local pick up or delivery only.
(yes we used to sell...
We had Guineas for 8 years and have raised hundreds of keets - but only indoors with a bator and brooder box, so I am quite experienced with that.
No idea how to keep them safe outside but trying now!
ScoopyDoo sat on what I thought were dud eggs but one day - surprise!
I quickly kicked out...
Look what I just got in the mail!?!
Ann of PumpkinRidgePottery in Oregon agreed to make me some custom Guinea Fowl planters since I love her chicken planter but we only have Guinea Fowl....
Super-fast service and nice work!
Request a custom Guinea planter for yourself, if you want one. =]
