    Stray keet in our acreage

    Backstory - we have a flock of neighborhood guineas (4) that roam between 3 lots. We feed and water them and they show up every morning. 1 has been missing for weeks. We assumed it was a predator. Fast forward to today and we found a crying keet in our lot, on her/his own trying to get in with...

    Adding Guinea Fowl to an Established Chicken flock

    Hi! Ok so here goes...someone has to have tried this :) I have a mature free range chicken flock with two resident roos. This year I want to give guineas a try for tick control etc etc. Online is full of both yay and naysayers for keeping guineas and chickens together but from what I can tell...

    Neighbor's Guineas adopted us!

    This started last week sometime. We noticed there were four guineas on the (quiet) road behind our property. We knew whose they were as we'd seen them before waaay up at the top of their pasture. For some reason since then they've decided that we are their new favorite place. They still sleep at...

    Rooster Problems

    So, we have 4 roosters and two hens. The store promised a 96% pullet guarantee, but I guess not. Tractor Supply needs to recheck its numbers. So, I love these boys more than anything in the world. Their names are Molasses, Storm, Bucky, and Lily. All four of them are having some problems...

    Tell Me About Guineas

    Alright. A little while back, a fox got 4 of my chickens, and just last night, a cat somehow managed to get my 3 chicks. I've heard Guineas can make great additions to the flock and are on constant alert for dangers, and get LOUD if something is out of place. Tell me ALL about Guineas. What...

    Guineas attacking young chickens

    I’m looking for insight from someone familiar with flock dynamics/behavior of guinea fowl. I wanted a mixed flock of chickens (7), ducks (6), and guineas (15) to use a common coop, so I hatched all three sets of eggs together and brooded together. Later, all were added to a coop and run with...

    Raising Guineas with Chickens?

    (I'm long-winded so feel free to skip the "because" and go right to the question in paragraph 2) My daughter was diagnosed with Lyme at 2 years old. She's 4 now. That's what started my whole "backyard bird" idea - that and I thought it was a great opportunity for her to learn some...
