I've seen variations of this question in other threads, but haven't found a clear answer (there may not be one, but I appreciate hearing your experiences!). I have 25 9-week-old hens/chicks (they look like small hens now) and 7 4-week-old keets. We had to coop the hens up a couple days ago due to a tragic hawk attack. We'll be working on covering the hen yard, but that will take some time. I want to get the keets in with the hens now, while they're all cooped up, so we can start coop-training the guineas. Are the keets too young for that? Are the chicks likely to go after them? I know once everyone's grown they mostly ignore each other and am hoping that would be the case now.
Thanks for any thoughts!
