When should I merge the keets with the 3 older guinneas? They are 3 1/2 weeks old now. We only have guinneas. Should I keep them in the new pen for a while before letting them free range with the older ones?
The new keets are so entertaining that i watch them instead of TV now. One gets a piece of egg, which I used an egg slicer twice to cut into small pieces, and runs all over the box playing chase. At 3 days old, they are impressive. We threw in a couple of ticks from our clothes, which are pretty...
We are limited to feed stores around here. We are definitely in the back woods. I don't think there are any chain stores in the entire county, only small mom n pops stores.
This is the highest protein that we can get around here. It is 18% - non medicated. I have checked around 2 different counties for feed. This was what our first birds were raised on.
I put the thermometer next to the keets.
We found 19 eggs and incubated them. Fortunately 2 nights later a raccoon hit the replacement chicken eggs, followed by snakes and more raccoons.
Last night our keets hatched.
We have a nice brooder box, they really seem to love it.
We are keeping the water warmed with one light.
