integrating with flock of chickens

If you're guinea keets and adult chickens are mingling now, make sure you know that the keets are getting enough food. My 12 wk old keets have been in a run with my 15 wk old chicks for a few days now and the chicks do pick on the guinea keets. There are also two other chicks, about 7 wks old, which have lived with the guineas for most of their lives. These two younger chicks get bullied a lot by the older chicks, but they are able to eat fine with the guinea keets. (because they've bonded together) I would definitely make sure that your hens aren't bullying the keets too much. (I don't know what breed your chickens are, but there must be quite a size difference between them and the guinea keets.)

Good luck!
