I agree, guineas are not good moms! I hope I don’t end up with dead keets again, but integrating last years babies into our current flock has been ridiculous! After 9 months, I still have two different flocks forced to unhappily live together... I’ve have to temporarily pen them all up together after a recent bobcat attack, and I’m afraid one will get killed by a rival guinea!
Now I want to read the story lol where is it
I had to eventually rehome the guineas because they would terrorize my chickens.
I heard they can be bad with chicken. My friend has one left and it’s mission is to terrorize the chickens all day
Sounds about right. They are always on some kind of a mission.
I don’t know if I could handle them. Just the noise they make drives me bonkers!
Yes, I started out brooding with chicks and then had to rehome most of those for being aggressive with their chicken flockmates. If you don’t raise them with chickens, then they are better with them in a free-ranging situation.I had to eventually rehome the guineas because they would terrorize my chickens.
Here I thought...yeah, I'll get guineas...I'll have good watch dogs...I'll have less ticks around...
Little did I know.
Yes, busy busy birds! That’s why it makes me nervous to have them all penned in together right now.
They are ridiculously loud! My hubby and son really dislike, possibly hate, them for that reason. They keep the ticks down though, and we are in tick central!
I’ll have to remember this...
