Hi,
I knew I wanted Guineas to help with pest control and snakes. But the 7 extra chick's were an impulse buy. I started with 4 Orpingtons and then ordered my Guineas. But a trip to Tractor Supply one day, and I saw they had some Easter Eggers. Which were some I'd wanted to get. So I picked up 4 of them which were supposed to be all females, but one turned out to be a Rooster. Then in another tank there were 3 little chick's all by themselves and they were male and female. I think I have 1 Rooster from them.

Hi,
I'm Kit, and I just moved to a place where I can have chickens. I started with 4 baby chick's, then several months later I picked up 7 more along with 14 guinea fowl. We just finished our third chicken coop and are getting it ready for the 7 chickens new home. The 14 Guineas are housed in an enclosed area of my small coop, and once the 7 are in their new home I'll open up the door for the Guineas so they have more room.

Hi, Thanks. Guineas are like taking care of chickens, except when I feed them I just put there food on the ground. They don't eat out of the feeders, they like to scratch for their food. And I give them a bit more dried grasshoppers and worms.
