New to chickens!!

[Yessabub]

Ok i found some abandoned chickens and two guinea fowls at a house im tearing down there in good health and im thinking about taking them in. I was wondering what i need to know to take care of them.

& good for you for wanting to keep them!
You can find all kinds of info by either going to the top blue bar on the page, go to INDEX & scroll through to see what sections you want to check out (eventually it will be all of them!), or you could use the SEARCH feature, also up on the blue bar. Good luck!

Go get some feed like chick/grow/lay. If you have a Tractor Supply near you they will help you.

If the Guineas are good size you will need to pen them up if you are reloating them. They will wander away.

Of course water and some sort of roost or shelter should get you started.

Shelter, food, fresh water. 4 sq ft of coop floor space per bird... Secure coop/shelter. A secure predator proof run in not free ranging. A good fenced in area if semi free ranging... Shady areas to hang out and get away from sun. Theres the basics.

You'll love having chickens. They are something else.
