Sorry to hear about needing to cull the poor little guy.
I miss having meets! They are so cute! Hatching certainly has its ups and downs. The summer of 2022, I tried hatching four times with no one making it. Well, the fourth clutch I got eight. I got rid of five and kept three. My two girls...
When they are very young they are just like chicken chicks. I’m sure that the disabled one will be fine with you handling it often. If you don’t think so and you think that it’s suffering, you might need to cull it unfortunately. Praying that he makes it! And congrats on more lavenders!

I’ve heard about guineas attacking chickens when raised together. Occasionally a few of my guineas wander into where the chickens get to free roam and a small fight breaks out. Mainly it’s with my roo, Pastel (if you can’t tell with my name) and my male alpha Guinea Harry. I grab Pastel before...

Haha, I love the name Dave 🤣 Mrs. Flappy sounds charming 🤣
Awe. I used to have lavenders, but three died, and one I rehomed. At his new home, he is top of pecking order, even over chickens.
This Section Is For Eveyone!-
My white female and her daughter are sweet, although her daughter bites.
Her possible half daughter (a pied guinea) is super sweet...
I've seen threads here and there on BYC like this, just not with guinea fowl.
I figure that this will be a fun opportunity for us guinea owners to share our guineas antics!
And for those who want guineas, come see how fun they are!
I really hope that you all will enjoy this thread, and...
