guinea hen

We have had Mr. and Mrs. Guinea in our flock of chickens since they were keets two years ago. She wasn’t very noisy the first year, but is progressively becoming noisier and noisier. It’s to the point now, that while everyone else is foraging and sunbathing, she’s strolling around loudly...

Guinea Keets (June/2020)

We have 6 Pearl Guinea Fowl (4 male, 2 female). One of our females has become noticeably skinny with some ruffled or loose downing feathers over a 2 day time span. She is acting pretty normal, still on her feet, running around, eating feed, etc. I'm just worried about the dramatic size...
