    How long in brooder?

    We bought our first set of 3 guinea hens from the local feed store and was wondering when they can go out in the coop area at night?

    Vulturine Guinea Info wanted

    I just came across this beautiful bird and wanted to learn more about it, but I'm not finding much information. Does anyone raise them? Or know of a good article I can read to find out more about them? Or are they pretty much like the other guineas?

    Spooked Guinea

    hi! I posted this on the chicken thread but someone told me I’d have better luck here! Duh. Anyways, I have this guinea, Fredrick. He’s pretty dumb. He hates everyone else and he went through a testy stage when he was younger, attacking me all the time. We made him wear a sailor costume for a...

    Missing Guinea

    hey, y’all. Today we had a dog invasion; fortunately, the dogs were friendly and well trained, and aside from the little one getting in a coop and giving the hens a fright, nothing really happened, we just grabbed them and gave them some water while we tried to get their owner. The problem...

    Dog Chewed My Guinea Hen's Wings

    My dog got ahold of one of my guineas in the yard and gnawed on her back a little and her wings quite a bit. She doesn't seem to have any puncture wounds and I don't see any blood, just missing a few feathers and she couldn't get up. Her legs seem to be fine. I don't know if her wings are broken...

    So proud of my vicious little keets!

    I was hunting around for some worms to give my mama duck with newly hatched babies and I found a mouse nest with a small mouse. Before I could chicken out ;) I stomped on it with my boot until I stopped moving long enough for me to grab it (with gloves on) and fling it in my 6-week-old keets...

    Guinea hen gone broody

    My free range Guinea has gone broody outside with no protection. I stretched a piece of mesh around her with a board on top but I am concerned that a fox will get her. Does anyone have any suggestions or some type of protection ideas that I can provide for her? Also because of the way I rigged...

    Guineas have become lazy

    We have five male guineas. One is three years old and the others are two. This summer they have become very lazy. They spend a lot of time laying in the driveway or in the shade instead of foraging the property as they have done in the past. They make a couple quick loops around the house each...
