When should I let them free range?

[Kennas_Kritters]

I had just one Guinea that needed some friends. He is full grow basically so I got him some adult friends. I got 3 friends for him that are a bit older than him. I have all of them together in a big dog kennel coop. When can I let them out to free range? My younger Guinea is used to free ranging with all my other birds and he stays in the yard. His wings aren't clipped. Will they stay with him or fly away? Should I clip their wings? How long until I should let them out? Thanks!

i think you should not let them free range right away. The new ones might run away. Let them get adjusted to the surrounding for few weeks and confined in a place where they will be free ranging later so they get used to it. Later you can experiment with one guinea and see if it returns after you let it out since it wont run away as it needs to be near its friends. Get them all used to it and you will be able to free range them. Hope that helped. I hope you upload some pics of them.

The recommended time to keep new adult guineas contained is 6 weeks. It can take that long for them to realize their new place is now home.
