    I have fertile eggs (about 90% hatch rate ) and keets for sale in southern Central Missouri- SE of Springfield. My guineas are pearl with a line of lavendar in the past. This results with a few lower wing feathers being white on some of my birds. My keets range from 1 day to 3 weeks at the...

    Adult Guineas and unacquainted Border Collie?

    I have an opportunity to acquire 10 ten month old guineas (who have previously been around a lab). We have wanted guineas, but weren't sure how to go about it with our border collie female. They are used to being in a coop, so we would also get a coop and do some training with them in order to...

Last winter we added 10 mixed breed chickens. 2 were eliminated for dinner since they had a bad attitude. Still have 2 roosters and 6 hens. They are a various mix of banty and red...

    Guineas and Chickens?

    We have just moved to Oak Hills and discovered our first Rattlesnake. We are looking to get Guineas to let them roam the yard, and at least alert us if there is one around. Also hoping they will eat some of these beetles! I want the guineas to be free to roam in the day, and I've read that if...
