*Shy* Guinea keets

[macmac955]

I got 2 New Guinea keets from Rural King, and they were scared of me as expected. The problem I have is that they won’t come out from the back of the brooder plate to eat and drink. The only way they drank in the past 2 hours was me forcing them to. They still haven’t eaten in a couple hours. Should I be worried or is this normal for guineas? This is my first time owning keets.

+ They’re still pooping right now and they’re sleeping in the brooder mostly. They haven’t left the plate.

I would just leave them be. They are probably pretty stressed. If they are pooping, then they are eating

You just got them today? I agree with giving them more time.
