Hi everyone, I just (on Saturday) bought eight keets and they are thriving! I've read everything I can about guineas and just have a couple of questions I couldn't find the answer to. So right now they are in a big cardboard box, not the greatest, but I am getting them out in a little cardboard enclosure so they can run and peck. My coop should be here tomorrow, so they will only have one more day in their box.
Should I be leaving food for them all of the time or should I feed them in the morning and evening? I know they're not inclined to be "tamed" but I really want to get them used to me as much as possible. I pick them up often and sit and talk to them. Would feeding them twice a day help with this or do they need it all day long?
Number 2 question is: Will they be OK to stay in the coop even though they are pretty small? I have no idea how old they are but they have wing feathers and tail feathers starting. And, they are able to flap/fly pretty well.
Thanks in advance and anything else you can tell me I'd appreciate it!
