☆Anyone interested in guinea keets?☆
(Hatching beginning of November).

I have two guinea hens sitting on nests and I know where one of them is so far. She's sitting on 14 eggs (I have candled them and all are alive). There will be mostly Pearl keets, but some could be Lavender (or mixed). Price is $3.00 each. I can discount them to $2.00 each for all.

I will post more details once they have all hatched. They are from my small, free-ranged, backyard flock so they are very active and healthy. Would like them to go to a good home. Located in Swainsboro (near Statesboro). PM me if interested. :)

Guineas are good "watch dogs" and will alert you if anything out of the ordinary happens in your yard. They are excellent foragers and good for pest control (especially for gardens). They are also decent layers (eggs taste like chicken eggs if fed on a layer diet).

Can you just have one or do you need more together? I would put her in with my 80 chickens.

Well, the first 14 are spoken for, but I have another guinea hen sitting on a nest that I haven't found yet (with who knows how many eggs). I know she has one somewhere because she doesn't come back at night and I can sometimes hear her far off. I've looked for her, but it is very well hidden (I might not find her until the eggs hatch).

I think 2 would be better than 1 so the other isn't lonely (unless you have some baby chicks to put her with). :)

Just to throw in my two cents, guineas seem to prefer guinea company over chicken company. I had guineas for a year or two, raised as keets with chicks, and they still stuck to their own. I'd get two to keep them happy.

Yeah, guineas usually do stick together. But if there aren't any other guineas around, they'll stick with other birds they were raised around. It's funny, I have 2 keets in the brooder right now with 5 ducklings, and they don't seem to notice the difference. They like to peck the food out of the side of the ducklings' bills and feathers because they're so messy. :D They're so fun when they're babies. :)
