Roaming Age??

[kgillis27]

Hello. I'm new to guineas and have 6 that I have raised from keeps who are now 2 months old. I let them roam in our fenced yard dunking the day and they are good about going back home. I also have 2 chickens the same age who will be getting put with the other chickens soon.
What's the best age to start letting them roam free on the ranch??

I usually let mine have freedom around 3 to 4 months old. You want them to be pretty much full grown. They aren't likely to roam very far until they are adults. It's usually the following spring before mine start leaving the safety of the area around the house and barns.

Ok. That's what I was thinking. They are good about going around the yard and then back into their home.
