Guineas were moved out to their coop today! I'll get some pictures later after they have settled down.

Oooo what a happy crew.... like the vent too. Hmmm I have an old camper disintegrating by the pump house.

If it isn't rusting you could easily convert it into a guinea coop. On youtube I watched a couple videos where this lady had a old camper that they weren't ever gonna use again and they gutted everything out to where it was just bare in the inside. I'll try to find the videos and will PM you if I do.

Oh yes they are! They are trying those little wings out and flying every couple feet.
Now there's 5 Chicken Chicks in with them since Ideal sent those 4 red ones and then I had a lonely Coronation Sussex Chick hatch when I got my last batch of Keets.
I have no where else to put them since my only extra pen is to break all the stupid broody hens I have so the stop stealing the nests boxs.

Can't wait till next year!! I'll be able to hatch some of their eggs!

Looks great, lots of room. Love the trailer vent too. Great recycling!

Ickkkk! I was walking in the guineas coop and noticed that some of them were missing because there was only like 10 or so on the floor and I looked up and guess who were up in the rafters????
Little buggers pooped on me too!

Oh and I think those Pearl Guineas I have by accident, I think they are French they are a ton bigger than the Lavendar keets that were raised with them.

Just thought I would update a little.

I bet she is french or jumbo or something. Out of my original twelve guineas four were pearls and I have one left and she is noticeably smaller than the rest. My second generation are all pied (except one lavender) and they're all bigger and smarter than my original guineas. I wish we could get together and see what each others really look like.
