Hi everyone!! I live in FL and have JUST started my chicken venture. I have 3 chicks (2 Lavender Australorps and a Cream Legbar) and a Guinea Fowl keet. As of now the Australorps are 4wks old and the other 2 are 3 wks. We got them about 3 wks ago This is the FIRST time having chicks and chickens and I'm absorbing info like CRAZY!!! Any help or tips are GREATLY appreciated lol.

Nice to meet you Christina, how is the guinea keet doing with the chickens?

 

[Chrissybug911]

He/She is doing just fine. From the info I've read they will act like a chicken if raised with chickens. I'm guessing I'm doing everything right since he was only 1-2 days old when I got him and is almost fully feathered now.

I've kept guineas with chickens (actually I'm doing so right now). I've never had any problems keeping them together. do you have any pics of your Guinea?

We also have Matilda the cream legbar, Cuddles the light lavender Australorp (my daughters chick), and Charlotte the darker lavender Australorp.
