Guineas going in the road!!

You didn't mention age of guineas. Mine happily wandered around the yard until this 1st mating season kicked in. Then the girls led the boys all over the place looking for the "perfect place" to make a nest. It was cute, until I lost 2.
I now keep the remaining female locked up. She has her choice of the run or a kennel, but she doesn't get to roam free, and my boys are back to staying in the yard. She's not much bothered by it, the boys are content, and I'm not scooping remains out of the road or finding nests of nothing but shattered shells.

We got the keets in April of this year so they are young. Pretty sure we have 2 female and 3 male. Would they be looking to nest already?

I wld think not. That wld be what, 8-12 wks old? I don' t think mine were roaming free at that point. But no difference-something abt birds and the "great black river".
