    Guinea keet colours? (My first hatch!)

    After incubating for my first time, I’m proud to say that ALL OF THEM HATCHED! And they are all doing so well! I’m still in shock that beginner me was able to do it.

    Guinea keet with twisted foot and can’t walk

    We got guinea keets this morning and everyone else is doing well except for this one little dude. He can’t stand or walk. His bad leg has his foot completely closed. We are able to stretch it out but he refuses to use it. I tried making a little cast to support him in spreading his toes. He...

    Update On Roosters and Guineas

    It almost seems like Bucky, our biggest rooster, has become the "leader" of the guineas. He will attack Molasses, Lily, and Storm and the entire flock of guineas will join in and beat the poor things until they run away or fly into the trees. Ang and Fire are doing just fine with the guinea...

    Mareks disease questions

    hello everyone! A couple months ago my one of my chickens became ill, and since then I’ve lost around 5 more, and I’m quite positive that Mareks was the cause.

    Where to put access door for Guinea Fowl?

    I'm contemplating getting Jumbo Guinea Fowl and have been figuring out coop ideas. I'm planning on getting the 8' ×8' metal cage from Tractor supply and building an elevated coop inside for them to sleep in. I was thinking maybe I should put the access door for the cage up high, so they would...

    Not Laying Eggs! 8 month old Guinea fowl!

    Hello! I started with 2 Guinea fowls and 2 Turkeys 7 months back. All the keets were 1 month old. The turkey hen laid 24 eggs and is sitting on them for about 20 days. But there is no sign of the guineas laying any eggs. They are 8 months old. I heard the "Buck-wheat" sound many times. So there...
