Guinea poll

[My2butterflies]

Really pretty guineas on your profile! Do they get on with your chickens?

Mine? If so, thank you
They are kept separate from my chickens. They occasionally fly into the chicken area and get along fine with the chickens in that short time, but I wouldn’t keep them together. Guineas are more aggressive during mating season.

Yep I mean yours!
They look a lot like ours actually...

I've heard that is true, ours live with our chickens but we have only female guineas. They are v. sweet but rather highly strung!

Mine free range all day and return to their own personal coop at night.

Mine free range during the day. At 4-4:30, they return to the coop.

Ours free range during the day and have their own coop at night. They decided a few weeks ago to attack any and all BR chickens so they are currently not allowed to free range when the chickens are out.

But not the cat? Neighbor's son told her dog to "sic 'em". The six lined up & laughed their heads off while she peed down her leg - for real.

Mine are free range. Sometimes at night some of them will roost with my chickens, but mostly they prefer to roost in the trees around the coop.

I don’t have Guineas so I just voted for other

My guineas used to free-range, but due to a hawk problem, I now have them in a run together with the chickens.
I might let them out for a while during the summer to cut down on the ticks. It depends on how things are going by then.
