Guinea keets

[GuineaCrazy]

Hello! I am new to all things farm life. We have 2 week old guineas in a tote in our garage. They are quickly outgrowing it and flying in it and hitting the screen on the top. I have a coop and run that are connected and of course it's outside. The run has chicken wire and reinforced with wire mesh so the holes are small. It's 90 here during the day and in the 70s at night. Do you think we could put them in their coop now with a heat lamp at night? Any advise would be appreciated.

Yes, you can do that. They may only need the heat lamp for another week depending on how fast they are feathering and how many of them there are to keep each other warm.

Thank you for the reply. To me they seem to be feathering out quickly and we have 6. It's going to be 68 tonight so I turned a lamp on in their coop. I am happy they have more space now!!
