guinea hens

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...

A predator killed all but 1 of my Guinea fowl flock. She is very lonely & keeps escaping my pen. I know 2 people with Guineas who are willing to add her to their flock but I am worried since she is all by herself that they may attack her & be hard on her. I know with my chickens I have never...

Greetings from Southern Vermont! I’m not new to chickens as I’ve had them about 6 years now. And I started looking at this site back when I started my first flock. But I didn’t sign in - I just searched forums and looked at coop ideas. I started with a small flock of barred rock, Orpington and...

Hey guys! I've read this website off and on for several years but didn't have a need to join since I didn't have any poultry. Now we're out in the country, starting our homestead, and have a flock of 18 runner ducks and 4 pekins, a brooder full of peeping freedom rangers broilers, and a pen of...

My Guinea hens and blue slate turkeys. They are only 6 weeks as of thursday!

So, I noticed that one of the guineas was acting funny. She kept going back to the house and sitting in there and was really only coming out for food and stuff. There were no eggs, though, so I didn't think anything of it. After getting home today, I found a guinea egg. It's too large to be a...

We are thinking about getting some Guinea Hens & we’re wondering if they would go after (chase, hurt or scare away) wildlife in our yard including wild bunnies & birds. Thoughts?

Hey, looking for guinea. I will take babies, juvies, breeding adults, eggs. I just need some one close by. I am in Stuyvesant 12173 NY. ***I am not able to drive to far do to medical issues so any one close would be AWESOME!*** ~~~~Side note I want to start fresh with my quail. Looking...

Hey everyone! We have 11 Guinea fowl (6 hens and 5 cocks) and are expecting eggs soon. I have a few questions. A. When do guineas start laying their eggs? Are they laying now, or in March and April? B. We have two chickens and a rooster. Will the chicken hens raise the keets once they hatch...

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 my husband and I are brand new to chickens. We have six, six week old chickens; 3 australorps, 2 buff Orpingtons, and one Rhode Island Red. We've just moved our chickens out of their brooder and into their coop. I may have a dilemma though, over the weekend we seem to have been adopted by...

Hi BYC! I'm currently a junior in high school involved with the Natural Resources program. We are starting all over again with new chicks (chickens), possibly Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and few Barnvelders. However, our campus is in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountains area, surrounded...
