Anybody raise day old keets (guineas) with day old chicks

[thepetpaw]

Has any body out there raised guinis in the same brooder with chicks - all are day old and should be arrving this week....should I seperate or keep them together?

I'd put them together - I've never done it before.

I hatched my first keets a week ago - well the chicken moms did, and the little keets live in the coop with their mom's and the rest of the flock.

I raised my keets with my baby turkeys. They taught my turkeys how to eat and drink. They did an excellent job and I did not loose one baby turkey.

I put mine in the same brooder with a short partition (8 inches tall) because the keets were so tiny in comparison. Within a week the chicks were jumping over the partition and everyone was getting along fine.

I have 27 chicks and 11 keets in that brooder.
