Guinea fowl have great alarm systems. When they sound depends on the situation. Anything new or strange could trigger the alarm. My Guinea hens have lived with my chicken hens for a year now without problems. When it comes to treat distribution, I usually select 2 separate areas because the...
Mmmmm....potato salad sounds great! I will have to try them. I don't think my Guinea has started laying again yet. It is still kind of cold here. Come on Spring!
It would have been great if they did get on the hood to admire themselves in the windshield! They may not have gotten down to quickly. Mine stand in front of their mirror for long periods of time!
Good luck with your little one. Hope that all is going well! When we got our 8 chicks last year, there was one who was smaller and listless. We kept her i with her siblings and watched to make sure she was eating and drinking (even though she didn't do it as frequently as the others). We had to...
I have a couple of Guineas that I bought as adults. Next week, we are getting a few day old keets. They will be in a brooder inside of my house for the first couple of months. When I was planning the time of year to get them, I never thought about their alarms. Can anyone who has had Guineas...
Does anyone know of any fruits or vegetables that Guineas and chicks shouldn't eat? Mine love to snack on grapes, apples, melon and squash. Grapes are the favorite treat by far!
We have a mirror on the outside of our coop. Our Guineas love to look at them selves in it! They also love chrome bumpers. We had an electrician doing some work at our house and my Guineas were out walking around on a nice sunny summer day. All of a sudden, I heard a lot of tapping and saw three...
Your keets are beautiful! These are some great pictures. I have one adult now but am getting 3 keets next week. After seeing your pictures, I can not wait! Thanks for posting them!

This is great to hear! We have a couple Guineas (who we got as adults) who live with our chickens now without a problem. Next week, we are getting 2 baby chicks and 3 keets. I can't wait to see how they bond and get along as adults.
My Guineas and chickens live together without a problem. When I get home from work and let them out of their fenced yard to free range, they all go in one large group. When the sun starts to set, they all head back into the safety of their coop together. They roost amongst my chickens on the...
