Question About When to Add….

[BettyR]

My baby chicks were hatched April 16th; I got a call from Ideal this morning telling me that my Guinea fowl will be ready to ship on May 28th.

I plan to move the chicks (who will be 1-1/2 months old by then) to the chicken coop so I will have the brooder free for the Guineas. How old should the Guineas be before I move them in with the chickens?

Or should I move the brooder into the chicken coop so that the hens will be used to the Guineas and vise-versa?

Bumping hoping someone will know the answer to my question.

Hey Betty ... I'm getting Guineas with my chicks (from Ideal) in about three weeks.

I can't answer your question but I suggest you go the top of the page and use the Search function ... type in "Guinea" and you should get some great threads that answer your question.

Thank you Chirpy; I'll do that.
