    I need ideas for guinea roosting!

    We have 10 guineas @8 weeks old. They have been raised with chicks from the beginning of their lives. I need to know how to set up a guinea roost for when we let them free range. Would an elevated open-faced box work connected to the coop where they have been raised? We have never done this...

    Due to the pandemic...

    I don't have any other ideas for the feed issue than what others have recommended. As for the food/water containers I used the bottom of sour cream, cottage cheese etc... dishes. Maybe about half an inch high. Anything that is shallow with smooth edges will work. Not too deep for chicks...

    Hi I'm Amy 😊

    Yes, we started 3 wks ago with guineas and black jersey giants. Then got isa browns, light brahmas and golden laced wyandottes (total of 30 birds). It's been interesting! We focused on temperament first and egg laying ability second. All are doing well so far!

    New to guinea olive eggers and black jersey giants

    That's what I've heard about the cross breeds, but supposedly they're 2nd or 3rd gen? We have no idea. We're new and I'm sure we more than appeared that way when we got them lol! I really do think they are just straight up pearl grey guineas, which is fine with us😁

    New to guinea olive eggers and black jersey giants

    Yes, that's what we have realized. This will be ok for us because of where we live and our coop/roosting capabilities. If they become too much we have several friends and a family owned petting zoo we can re-home them to. It will be an interesting adventure!

    Well here are pics of the guinea olive eggers and the black jersey giants. I've only seen pics but they look just like regular guineas??? The Goe's are apparently 2nd/3rd gen chicken cross? Sterile? True? No idea! Guess we will find out in a few months!!!!

    No typo! Guinea olive eggers is correct. We're first timers at this so I hope they are what we were told! Yikes! I'll get pictures in the day light tomorrow as all I have are ones of them under the heat lamps. I'll post the black jersey giants too!
