Adding guineas

[Edw@rd]

I currently have 3 guineas that are 5 weeks old. I have the opportunity to get a few more that are a month old. Could I put them in the same enclosure right away? If yes, what do I need to keep an eye on if anything? Thanks,
Ed

Age wise they can be put together just be sure and watch them for awhile to make sure they are getting along. I find it is easier to introduce new guineas the younger they all are. Introducing guineas to an adult flock can be challenging unless they are ones that were hatched and raised by a member of the flock.

Awesome, thanks!

Congratulations on your new guineas! I love guineas, I just hatched out 14 to add to my flock 6 days ago. Can't wait for them to grow up so I can sit and watch them in the yard.

Just put 5 in with my original 3. They were so interested in each other and acting like long lost friends! Thanks for the peace of mind!
