guineas free range

[tls-21]

how old do guineas have to be before you can let them free range from coop

A lot of people think 12 to 16 weeks.

At what age can you start millet. I was told that this should be given to as a treat so they will come back to coop at night. If this is not correct. I am up for any suggestion. I am new to this. I don't want to loose any of my guineas.

Thank You!! chickfilletnot for your reply.

I'm not sure about when you should start, but if they are given any grains, they should have access to grit for digestion. I think you could probably start giving them millet or other grains by six weeks old, bc if they were raised by a hen, they would be eating it with her. But I wish some experts would weigh in on this.
