    White keets, color question

    Hi all, just curious with white keets, what they typically feather out as an adult? Lavender or white? From what I examined, all 4 are solid white, so my guess is they will stay white. But I’ve never had white guineas from keets so I have no real clue. Thanks!

    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...

    2 week old guinea chick fell from high place

    One of my 2 week old guinea keets fell from about 2 to 3 feet while I was transferring them to a warmer spot. He landed on his belly and was initially fine, but had trouble standing. He was on his side kicking his legs, but I picked him up and he's now sitting under my hand. I'm worried that he...

    Chickens raising keets?

    hi, Long story short, I live in rural PA where ticks are a HUGE problem. We have free range chickens (9 after recent predators), and two broody hens. So I had the maybe not so bright idea to get my hands on some guinea hatching eggs and separated the girls into their own coops and placed...

    What should I do for housing, mixed family?

    I took a “family” of 1 chick and 4 guinea keets, as well as the hen momma raising them. They had been with an Amish boy who let them all run around together in a barn. Rough guess is they are all now about 4 weeks old (minus Mom of course). She takes beautiful care of them and they all seem...

    Rooster attempting to mate with 9-10 week old keets

    I am attempting to integrate 4 keets, about 1/2 the size of the adult Guinea hen, into a flock of 9 hens, 1 rooster, and 1 adult Guinea. The rooster keeps attempting to mount the adolescences and beating them up. I don’t know what to do so if any one has any suggestions that would be nice.
