Guineas warning all day

Almost being the key word, huh?

Exactly!

Thanks for the reminder in the asparagus!! It’s been a few days and they are now 3 feet tall

After reading your post, I’m going to try a different brooding method and brood them alone. The other babies are already sold to a couple people, but the remaining keets I’m keeping will go in a see through brooder at table height. Thank you! If chicks are scared of a hand, can only imagine a keet would be worse.

It's not that they fear a hand. They instinctively fear anything coming from above. My keets get acclimated to good things coming from above when I gently drop short grass clippings into their brooder.
