Is this a guinea?

[tatertot]

That's great...I hear they make excellent watchdogs..I mean birds

 

[tatertot]

....so.....whatcha gonna call him/her? How can you tell if you have a boy or girl keet

 

[tatertot]

is the bird moving around...eating..drinking

That is indeed a keet. It is possible that mom hatched out a clutch nearby and he got lost wandering or couldnt keep up, for this reason I brought our keets in and brooded them myself. Now at two weeks. Guinea moms are unfortunately notoriously dingy and not great at the art of mothering for the most part. dont get me wrong I do love them, but they just arent the sharpest tool in the shed

 

[tatertot]

Lol...since you raise them...I'm interested in learning about them...I'd like to get a couple in the spring...what's their temperament...how can you tell if their females...what can you tell me about them

It's m

is the bird moving around...eating..drinking

its moving around and having bowel movements but not eating.

 

[tatertot]

Try some grass...or whatever wild keets eat...I have no idea...but babies need to eat

 

[tatertot]

Does it have
Crayon orange legs and beak? From what I gathered from another thread...Guinea fowl keets have crayon orange legs and beak

 

[CaseyV]

Yes it does, I gave it some sugar water and I scrambled an egg mixed with scratch. Hopefully it will eat.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the keet died.
