Hello all......giving a shot at Guinea's

[DanD2]

Been lurking for a bit......I live in southern Maine and have had keets (7) for 3 weeks now. Bought them basically to control ticks in my yard.
Right now I have a brooder in my garage, at some point I'll move them to a shed I'm converting to a coop and outside run. My plan is to keep them in the coop and run until mid Fall and then I might let the out a bit before winter.
Lots of good info here.....thanx in advance for anything I might ask and hopefully in due time, I can contribute.

Dan

Welcome to BYC! I hear ticks have been terrible in that part of the world. I've been reading about how difficult it is for the young moose, was thinking that they ought to release keets into the woods.
