She could have the hybrids that lay lots of eggs daily. I have one hybrid that lays close to 1,000 eggs a day.

If you want to keep them happy. Run out and get them a dozen more Keets. What is cute and friendly this year could cause barnyard mayhem next year. I am always curious how much land they have to roam, when people get Keets. They like more than a acre or two. I ended up getting rid of mine...

Also as if on cue, I saw this post.. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-im-being-attacked-by-my-guinea.1355342/post-22356353 it is worth reading and especially @R2elk ‘s reply. Guinea are not understandable most of the time. They need a large flock and lots of room.

I think you should reread my reply, that was being gentle. Read it closely, you will see i did not call you a fool. Speaking of being gentle, I read this earlier and ignored it. But beings you decided to bait me by changing this 20 minutes ago. I will take the bait and gently correct you...

This is unbelievable. My Guineas never were that calm or homebody types. I could not keep them on the home 40 even. We have a bar two forties to the east. I use to catch my Guineas sneaking over and hanging outside the bar all the time. Of course, that was when they were not performing...

One can only fool themselves into thinking their Guineas lay in a coop all the time.... If they are allowed to free range they lay them wherever they want. Property lines mean nothing to guineas. I am willing to bet if you only have 3 acres the Guineas are laying them on some other persons...

I found any bird other than a guinea makes a better mother than the guinea hens do.. Guinea hens are such poor mothers I think they might have taken lessons from my own mother.

I can verify the hens sit tight. I had one come out from under the brush hog (on my bobcat) . Amazingly, she did not get hurt. I backed up and the nest was right under the impellers.

TSC should be able to get this.. good luck

Tractor supply has a game bird feeder if you ask them to order it in they will.

Good catch, I missed the chick feed and assumed game bird feeder. He had only had them two weeks.. mine always needed more time to learn their home.

Never let them out.. they will just raise havoc. Mug the neighborhood and cause mayhem everywhere they go. They should stay inside at least another month if you expect them to return to the coop. Even at that they may move to a tree or roof top they like better. 24 percent is good for them. I...

I will trade you 3 guineas for each of those...

My guineas have been perfect for 18 months now!! I kept mine with turkeys and chickens... but they were raised by themselves to limit imprinting.

Mine hatched when they wanted too. Around day 26, some 28's. They are as erratic in their hatching as they are in their behavior.

Is that a chain gang of Guineas or are they out on parole? They can look so harmless, until they make the change to evil incarnate.

I have no choice, so it is best I decide I don't miss them. They were fun and entertaining.

90 days Guinea free and proud of my accomplishment!

R2elk got my answer correctly. Had I not had the NPIP conflict I would have not gotten rid of mine. The other thing I had in play is a busy county road where they use to hang out and practice highway robbery. I would lose 15-20 a year to cars and trucks. I had a high coop for them much like...

60 days guinea free, life has never been better.
