Raising and Maintaining Questions...

[onionheadtg2014]

Hi, I just bought 5 guinea keet's Saturday and I was wondering if there was anything special as to taking care of them other than I would normally care for my chickens? I am wanting to socialize them with myself but I have over 30 chicks all together in the brooder right now and I don't have time to hold each and everyone. I did read the article on socializing your chicks but that seems to be for only a couple of chicks. Another question I have is when am I allowed to let the keets out for the day and possible forever? If I let the keets out do yall have any ideas as to what I can build as like a mini coop for these guys to go into at night and how do I get them to go in there? Im loving this adventure of raising all of my birds and I just want to make sure im doing it right as I haven't even thought about a guinea before. Thanks,
