Guinea keets

[Popsy]

I am new to guineas. I have 6 ten day old keets. Will I be able to add them to my chicken flock without the chickens picking on them? And at what age will it be safe to move them to the coop? I was hoping by the time they are 6 - 7 weeks old? Is it best to put them in the coop at night?

I do not recommend adding guineas to a chicken flock. Guineas have entirely different instincts and behaviors than chickens. They can cause your chickens extreme stress.

If you want your guineas to survive they need to be in a secure coop at night.
