I have raised my guineas with chickens and I think it helps the guineas stay home....... I have an adult pair that have never gotten out of the run. They were raised with chickens and I am raising 8 keets with one chick. I don't know how that one will turn out, should have used more chics but they were too different in size to keep together. The keets go bonkers in the nursery run trying to fly out! They are only 10 weeks old! I have had 4 weekers try to fly out so we will see about that one. I wish you luck with your little ones they are a lot of fun. I had to bring my adult male into the house because he put himself in front of some animal to keep the flock safe. I found feathers every where and he had a big chung missing out of his back. Nursed him back to health in the bath tub and he's back out protecting his chicken family. Love them guineas!!!

I'm glad you have so many that are developing. Only 6 days till lockdown for you! Keep us posted!

I also have 4 developing chicken eggs in with them to help them integrate into a mixed flock, and hopefully keep them close to home! (the chicken eggs are white Barnevelder)

They are all suppose to hatch on the same day!

Eggs are in lockdown!!!

humidity is reading 60%, is that ok for the guinea eggs??

That should be ok if you can't get it any higher. I hatched out 40 of 42 eggs in my foam Hova bator in May. The humidity was around 60-65. Good luck.
