In my "Surprise" box I got from Cackle Hatchery, I got 5 guinea keets. From what I understand, they mate for life. My problem is, I think I only have 1 guinea hen and the rest are males. My husband is wanting to dispatch all but the hen and 1 of the males and I feel they should be left as a group for protection. They are doing a lot of pecking on my young pullets that came in the same box. I had to separate 3 of them to be able to regrow back and tail feathers. I don't believe it's just the guineas doing the pecking. What do yall think? I know I need some more guinea hens, but in the meantime, should I wait til she picks a mate and then separate them or leave them as a flock? TIA Nurfsmom
