    Where Can I Find Guinea Eggs?

    Our guinea hens are starting to lay now, and I would really like to get their eggs and incubate them. Where and how can I find them? Is there a way I can get them to lay in a nest box? If not, where do they usually nest? Thank you!

    How Old Are These Guineas?

    Hello, so I made a post when I got these keets, and had no idea how old they are. Never raised guinea fowl before. I've had these since September 8th, and they looked about a week old maybe when I got them...maybe 2 weeks? Now they've gotten big, and am not sure if their exact age. What do y'all...

    11 of my babies were killed

    Yesterday, a group of German Shepherds got into my coop and killed 7 silver lined olive egger pullets and 4 white african guinea fowl that I had been raising up. They just hit 12 weeks and I am devastated. I fixed my fence and fortified it. With that being said, if anyone in Northwest Oklahoma...

    6 Week Old Guineas Escaping

    My second flock includes 15 chicks and 3 guineas. My plan was to give them outdoor time every day over the next several days and put them back into the brooder each night and then eventually start putting them into the coop at night with the older flock until they are well integrated. I made up...

    Guinea fowl broke its talon. Not an emergency

    Should I just leave it be or at least get put it in some warm water for a little bit and make sure its clean? It seems to be bothering her quit a bit as she's limping a little and has been sitting a lot. I think it happened earlier today.

    Guineas for protection?

    We had our first predator attack yesterday. Three chickens gone. 😭 We are guessing fox. We free range and realize the risk. We don’t have the ability to make a run sufficient in size for our birds. At first, we considered getting a herding dog as a barn dog to help protect. But then someone...

    Will she get attacked?

    A predator killed all but 1 of my Guinea fowl flock. She is very lonely & keeps escaping my pen. I know 2 people with Guineas who are willing to add her to their flock but I am worried since she is all by herself that they may attack her & be hard on her. I know with my chickens I have never...

    Something attacked my Guinea fowl…

    I had 4 guineas… they were originally in a pen with our 33 chickens, but they kept attacking some of the chickens badly. We made them their own coop/enclosure & let them free range. Only lasted about 3 weeks and something ate 3 out of my 4 guineas. I’ve put the last one in with the chickens...
