The case of the mysteriously dying guinea keets

[Gill-b]

Guineas require much more space than do chickens. People who have large enough coops (barns) can get away with housing them in the same area.

I kept my guineas in a separate coop and could free range them and the other poultry in the same area at the same time with zero problems. The guineas would keep to themselves as would the other poultry. There was no interaction between the species.

Thank you.

By-the-way, I adore your profile picture @LaurelC. Delightful photograph.

Edited to add: I just took a look at your mobile coop. It looks amazing!

Thanks! Yeah, we have been so happy with the first eggmobile that I picked up an old 2-horse trailer on marketplace and redid that over the winter and added a second batch of layers. The horse trailer is even better IMO, and that's what our flock is living in while the red coop gets used as a brooder. When the pullets start free ranging we'll integrate the two flocks over the winter and they'll be able to choose which coop they sleep in.
