I had a trio of free range guineas left, 1 cock and 2 hens(I have plenty in pens). My bloodhound got out about a month and killed some roosters and I thought a guinea hen. She got out again 4th of July weekend while we were out of town and got my cock and a few BLRW roos. Put the dog on craigslist on Friday and she was gone Sat. This morning I was shaving and I have a mirrior that covers the whole wall and about a 6'X5' window across from the mirror. So usually while I am shaving or brushing my teeth, I watch the birds in the yard in the mirror. I saw a guinea and thought it was my lone free range hen untill I saw something moving around its feet. I turned around to look out the window and noticed keets. Lots of them! Haven't seen her in a month and today she shows up with 17 keets. I am not going to take them from her because I already have about 50 in the brooder already and turkeys hatching today and next Tues. I hope she can raise them OK. My neighbor had one of his guineas hatch 17 last year and she raised all of them. I put out a 5 gallon waterer for them and threw out a couple of handfuls of Purina Startena (30%) and she starter eating and all the keets joined in. She let me come up to the keets but wouldn't let anything else near. Here is a pic of her with the babies.
