Raising Guinea Fowl 101

[harley587]

My guineas are becoming spoiled brats... They are such trouble causing little buggers! They enjoy scaring me half to death! Today the were half way up the giant pine by the chicken coop! And those are giant trees! I cant wait till I can let them out....

You'll get use to them. Mine hang out in trees and on the rooftop of our house.

Need some help, I had 11 guineas they've all died!! I'm not happy at all about this, I need help on figuring out why? They stayed n a tote with a heating light, food (crumbles) an water!! Any suggestions???

Need more information to help you. Did they all die at once? What were the temps? What kind of crumble? Any signs of illness?

Nope, need more information to help you. Did they all site at once? What were the temps? What kind of crumble? Any signs of illness?

Idk what site means...
They were purina crumbles, the temp stayed at 95 an above. No I didn't see any sickness, they were all up moving around an doin fine.

How old were they?



I have found Guineas are moving around and fine up until the second they are dead. I think they would require a brain to realize they were in pain.

Do you know the temps? Maybe they were too hot. Did you actually see them eating and drinking? Did you see any diarrhea or poo build up on their back sides? Was the crumble the right kind? Were they trampling each other?
