Hi! I need some help about Guinea fowls. We recently hatched Guinea fowls and one of the babies cant stand up and it's legs are always on the side, he's around 4-5 days old, is there any way to help it?
Good Afternoon!
I need some Guinea Fowl around 2-5 months old for my grandfather. They will be free range. Does anybody have any they want to get rid of or know anyone who does in Northeast TN?
Thank you all so much!
I went to check my guinea fowl coop this morning and found that 4 of my hens barely responded to my presence. The are very disoriented and have trouble walking, the worst of them cranes her neck inward severely when stressed (when I was handling her).
The four hens are all last year's hatch and...
I hope this is the right place to post this, I'm sorry if I got it wrong.
Short version: I have a year old guinea who hops on one leg or flies to get around. It appears to be very painful for the bird to use the injured leg at all. Upon close examination, the hock joint is swollen about 3x the...
Hello,
I have a female guinea fowl that has a swollen lower abdomen, like a bag hanging. She is eating, drinking, and foraging as usual. She is about two years old.
Have any of you had experience with this or know what might be the cause? Any helpful information is appreciated. Thank you
Hi! So I was reading some threads about problems with crumble and problems with pellet feed.
Personally, I think it depends on the brand.
Please vote and type what feed brand you use.
Hi,
I got a flock party waterer, and I prefer it over harris farm's brand. The plastic is thicker and I prefer blue over red. What are your thoughts?
APPLIES TO ANY BIRD! :)

I’m not sure how much of a threat flies or maggots pose to guinea fowl or chickens but ever since I placed my guineas outside in their pen flies have swarmed and swarmed. A few weeks ago I noticed maggots in the mud/dirt...
Hello all,
I’m currently researching how to keep and care for guinea fowl and would love some advice. I have read a few articles posted here but I’m having a hard time figure out how to keep them.
Can they be kept with chickens? If not can they at least be nice from afar?
Ive read that they...
I noticed a couple days ago that my older guinea keets — probably around 2-3 weeks old or maybe older but not sure — were having diarrhea. I’m not sure how long its been going on but I’m not sure if I should be worried or not. Sometimes they have a normal solid poop and then they have a very...
I'm new to raising keets so I'm not entirely sure what to do but I've done my best to research as much as possible. I ended up with 19 keets when a mother guinea hatched her eggs and left one behind. I took in the lone keet to try and raise it well enough to return it to the mother but then got...
I love having books and reference guides on hand for quick answers and reading material (book worm). I’d like to learn more about raising guinea’s, I have some eggs incubating, and I’d like to learn more besides pins and boards I’ve found on Pinterest. I’ve had hens in the past but they were...
My guinea fowl are being absolute bumholes and harassing my chickens. I’m looking into pinless peepers and bumpa bits as a last resort before I might have to rehome them to a guinea flock. I asked for females but pretty sure I got given 4 males, never seen an egg the whole time I’ve had them...
We have 20 chickens 4 ducks all in an 1/4 acre enclosed area with an electic fence. We do have trouble with foxes around at night. From what I have read Guineas like to be able to fly around a lot. So I would like to hear, if other folks free range their guineas during the day and put them in a...
