Guineas v.s. Hawks

[keatonskeets]

Would 10 8 week old guinea keets be safe to free-range around hawks? They're 7 weeks today.

They just seem too small.....

Mine are about the same age, and I decided they were too small, so they get to move to a bigger pen for a while.

They're never going to be 'safe' from hawks in a free-range environment.

Definitely not!! I had 3 guinea keets last fall, and kept them locked up till they were about 3 months old. Within a week of letting them free-range they were all gone. My adult guineas don't have any problem, but the babies are just too small.
