    Guinea eggs scattered

    My hen has laid about 9 eggs. 2 are buried under straw the rest scattered all over the coop, how will she lay on them if they are all over the place? Also would like to add whenever I take an egg out or try to find one the male goes back wild on me and everyone in the coop and run.

    A Hen to play mom?

    My Guinea hens are 6 months old. Would it be a good idea to get a chicken to sit on the eggs when the Guineas ignore their motherly duties? Or is it to late to introduce a new bird to the flock?

    No chicken sitter

    I go on vacation maybe twice a year for 4 to 5 days and I dont have a sitter for my Guinea Hens. My cage is heavy and solid. Would I be able to get away with not closing their coop up at night?

    Solar lighting

    I'm not very good and figuring things out apparently after electrocuting myself about 10 times on the water warmer. I had it plugged into an outdoor plug and extension cord. Went badly. Could you recommend a cheap but good purchase for solar panel electric in the coop with anything I would...

    Last question - Guinea Hens

    I saw people complaining about their guinea hens squawking all night. Mine do the opposite and the two girls squawk extremely aggressively (to the point I think they will blow a vocal cord) as soon as it's close to sunset and then once dark they make no noise what so ever. They go completely...

    Noisy Guinea

    I lost 3 birds one night and a few week later someone found her and posted it on fb. We went over, captured her and brought her home. Since then they have all been penned for the winter. So long story short....she wont stop squaking. Shes ruining my life. All of my hens were very quiet. I...

    Keeping the Guineas in a coop

    Is it horrible to keep two of my Guineas in the coop while the rest roam. It's the only way I found I can keep the others close to home. I have 8 and my coop picture attached.

    Wooden door ...how to secure it

    Is there a cheap construction that can close the door securely to the coop from outside of the run? Right now I climb into the run (in dress clothes) and secure the door with a bungee. I want to have less work and do better for my birds as well. Right now the door lift up from the bottom. I...

    Failed again

    So my Guinea hens will not go into their new pen at night because it's too dark without a night light. Will they get used to going in on time and not needing a nightlight? I sadly have no electrical outlets nearby.

    Guinea hurt toe

    My favorite Guinea who's fighting with another for pecking order (Blackfoot) got hung up on a fence...looked dead because he was just hanging there when I walked out. Fortunately he wasn't and when I walked up to him he twisted his leg free. His nail was bleeding but stopped quickly (I can not...

    Are these dig okay for my hens?

    Could you tell me if my coop is good enough for 8 Guinea hens? After losing 4 to our neighbors shitty yard (abandoned) I got this chick run hoping to reset their brains by leaving them in there all day and letting them out a few hours after I get home. It was going great until tonight when...

    Do Guinea hens cuddle each other?

    My Guinea have a dirt hole, almost as if they are attempting to break out it's so deep. Two look like they are loving on each other and then the male starts pecking at the female. Anyone?
