    RIP Mr Noodle Doodle, A Tribute

    I just read your story of Mr Noodle Doodle and these words stood out to me: "My granny was, but she didn't listen to me. Today, he passed away protecting my pullets." Your heart must have been broken - not just at the loss of Mr Noodle Doodle but at how to talk about his with your Granny. I'm...

    Confused about coops

    You are hearing them at night? Sounds almost like I will be on a nursing schedule with a newborn. How many guinea roosters do you have? Will just one make a lot of noise and are they pretty regular like chicken roosters?

    Confused about coops

    I appreciate the pictures. We used to have turkeys and they would drown themselves if I gave them a bucket like that! I assume that is not a problem with the guineas. I also noticed your temperature ranges. Sounds like Minnesota where we are from. I am going to miss a good blizzard - and I...

    Comment by 'trailhiker' in article 'My Guinea Coop'

    Thank you for the pictures. What is the gray box on the inside wall of the coop as seen through the open door? Do they fly over the enclosed mesh run - or does it even matter if they do or don't? What is the purpose of the 12X12 bird door when they have a regular door they can use? Do they...

    Help with guinea housing

    I need a quick built guinea house and I like your idea of the cattle panels. But, I don't see any roosts. How high is the center of the round top and do you have roosts in it? I am new to Guineas and hope to get 10 within 2 weeks. The seller is holding them for me as I have to construct a...

    Do Guineas eat pollinators

    Thank you, everyone for the replies. I'm especially happy to hear that Mixed Flock Enthusiast had the same concerns and stated that it the guineas do not seem to impact the pollinators and butterflies. But, sad to hear from My2butterflies that they do eat her monarch caterpillars. I am really...

    Do Guineas eat pollinators

    Do Guineas eat pollinator species? I will be new to Guineas in October. I have Lyme disease for several years and recently became infested with over 800 seed tick bites. I need the guineas for tick control. However, I am also an organic gardener and do everything I can to attract and protect...
