Need advice on lone keet

[Keetmama]

A baby keet wandered into my backyard where my dog cornered it. I saved it and put it in our chicken coop We just bought. I’m feeding it high protein starter foul food and it’s warm and safe, but I’m concerned about it being lonely and or getting cold without a flock to keep it warm I live in Colorado and it will be cold soon. I would really appreciate anyone who has some advice or help.

There’s a photo here in the first post of this thread. Looks like the keet was exposed to some moisture?

My recommendation is to rehome it to someone local that already has guineas.

Guineas are flock birds and do best in large groups. No a flock of chickens is not a good substitute for other guineas.

FYI, it is way too young to tell what the sex is.

No, it is dry and sheltered and safe

Welcome to BYC. Can you get more keets to keep it company?

Absolutely I’ve been looking, they’re difficult to find in Colorado unless you hatch them and it’s almost winter here. Which makes it all the more confusing as to where she came from.
