I have 5 day old keets in a sectioned off area in my coop. The mother has access and pops in and out taking care of her young. How long will she raise them? When can they have access to the whole coop with the other adult birds? Thanks in advance!
6 weeks ago my wife brought home 3 new adult guineas. They have been separated from my original flock. When the see each other through the fence the males fight. Is there a proper way to get them together, or should I just let them fight it out? My original flock is all males that free range all...
i recently acquired a hen that the previous owner said was laying eggs. I placed her in her new coop with 2 other birds from her original flock. Does she need a nesting box in case she has any more eggs to lay? She seems healthy as it’s been 6 days with no eggs. Please advise. Thanks,

I have 6 guineas ranging 11-13 weeks old. They seemed to pick on one every once in awhile. The other day I lost a guinea to a neighbors dog and since the Guineas are really going after the smallest one. I’ve seen them bite and pull feathers out. I’m not sure of all their sexes yet. The smallest...
My Guineas trespassed on my neighbors property and there dog got one. I didn’t see it until my neighbor brought her to our front door. She is sitting with her head up and besides a few feathers missing I can’t find any blood. She is sitting and not moving. Her eyes are opening and closing...
My Guineas are 10-12 weeks old and are pretty much the same. Grasshoppers entice them for a chase, but other bugs like ants are ignored. I’m tempted to get a dozen crickets at the pet store and see what happens.
My Guineas for some reason love my porch. It’s like a teenage hangout for them. They always leave me those little treasures that I love to step in. I never fed them or brought them to the porch. I have over 3 acres with lots of shaded areas and for the life of me can’t figure out what’s so...
A couple hours ago I noticed 1 of my Guineas wasn’t with the flock. I searched around my property with the flock by my side and had no luck. They are all just over 2 months old and free range during the day. There is a million hiding places, but my ultimate fear is a predator took it. Any...
I currently have 3 guineas that are 5 weeks old. I have the opportunity to get a few more that are a month old. Could I put them in the same enclosure right away? If yes, what do I need to keep an eye on if anything? Thanks,

I’m getting back into beekeeping and remembered that I now have Guineas. Does anyone have this scenario? Will the guineas go after the hive if it’s new? Thanks,
