guinea fowl

Located in the Panhandle of Florida. Don’t mind shipping the eggs in. Will drive within 2 hours for significant egg amounts. Will drive up to 3 hours for breeding pairs (or trios) the actual birds.

We had a bobcat trying to get into the chicken run this morning, the guineas went ballistic so I ran outside with my rifle and there it was, trying to get in, it already killed a bunch of our birds few days ago when we were away celebrating a birthday only to come back to see our favorite buff...

I bought my guineas as chicks and have 4 of them. They are about 4 or 5 months old now. I noticed a few weeks ago that one of them was missing. After searching I found it sitting by itself which was very odd. It would get up and run off when i approached it but would sit right back down. The...

Hi guys, I have 6 guinea fowl, and tonight two of my girls each ate one baby Sonoran Desert Toad. They are poisonous, potentially fatal to dogs, but does the toxin affect Guinea Fowl? I know they eat spiders and rattlesnakes....but... any help on this would be great. Google is hopeless lol...

Hi all, I'm a brand new guinea owner. I've had mine since May. They have been really great and easy but in the last couple of weeks they've been super codependent! They are free-range during the day and they had been staying relatively close to the coop and entertaining themselves. However, in...

Good morning, To start, here is the story behind the question "How in the World do You Get Your Guinea Fowl to Return Home on Their Own?!" Yesterday was a hard day to have guineas... I left one guinea in the barn to entice the girls to return, the second of my hens got chewed on by one of...

I raised 6 guinea hens last year, sadly only 2 are still alive due to hunters and predators! I have my female and one of my 5 males, who I have named Mean Bird. So I know that guinea hens aren't friendly birds, that they prefer not to be touched, and will chase a dog out of your yard screaming...

Hello, It's been a long time since I've posted. I'm looking for some nice egg laying chickens (dual purpose okay) that have good bloodlines, along with some guinea fowl (any type). A small flock of ducks is likely in my future too. The last time I got birds I got runty dual purpose chickens...

I ordered 14 pastel guinea hen eggs on ebay, that was probably the cause of my "issue" I use issue lightly because there's nothing wrong with the single guinea keet that hatched. Actually she's the prettiest chick i've ever seen. Pudding Pops is her name and she's about 3 and a half months old...

Hi, So our ten chickens have a completely enclosed run connected to their coop to keep them safe from predators. Today, a lone guinea fowl discovered them, we believe it's a male from the call but could be mistaken. He has been sitting and exploring next to the run. He only leaves when we go...

Hello and good day! We started raising poultry in 2016 and growing in size and understanding every day. Our first Chick Day at the local lumber yard was a site not for the weak at heart. Reserving chicks didn't occur because I couldn't make my mind up in time. Lucky for us, they had extras and...

Okay so I'm very concerned about one of my young male guinea's eyes. I noticed yesterday that his left eye was swollen and half way shut. I figured one of the others pecked him, or he just got something in it. Today I noticed that both eyes are swollen shut and the poor thing can't see and keeps...

Hello all, I believe my wife will also be joining and may duplicate some info but here is a summary. We are new this year to chickens and Guinea Foul. We have 4 chickens(funny story) and 4 Guinea. I believe 2 male and 2 female. Both groups are about 2 month old and outside in the coup...

Hello! My wife and I just recently started raising guineas. We recieved 21 guineas from a place in Zeeland, MI and have been raising them since they were keets. We're almost to week 4 now. Our main interest in getting guinea fowl over any other birds or animals currently is to help control the...

I'm new to rural living, and raising chicks and ducks. We have 11 2 month old chicks and 2 ducks. They're doing great, free ranging and sleeping in coops at night. We have a major bug and tick problem in our area and I keep hearing guineas are the way to go. We have 12 acres, 3 of which are...

Help! I just got these guys about 2 days ago and I noticed some of them have a hard poop cap over their butts. Is there something I can do to help them? I don't want to lose any. Thanks so much!

So this may be a strange question. I just bought 9 baby guinea fowls and 3 baby ducklings and have a big bag of game bird starter for them. I would like to raise chickens with them so that they all get along but wondered how I would do the food with them altogether. Can baby chickens eat the...

Hello, We are raising 22 guinea keets and 4 peafowl, all of which are only 1 month old. They are in our house right now, in separate cages (guinea in one, peas in the other). We converted a horse stall into a coop for the birds, all enclosed with chicken wire to keep predators out. We raise...

Hello! Myself, my wife and our three children started a small homestead in the sequoia national forest in California 4 years ago and recently started our own flock of chickens, it has been amazing so far! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes we are very new, we...
