keets

Hi, I am looking into hatching some Guinea fowl. I’ve tried a couple of times unsuccessfully and was wondering if anyone had any tips. I’m used to hatching chickens and ducks. Are guineas more difficult? Thanks

A few weeks ago, our only female guinea hen and sometimes one of the males didn’t roost in the coop like they normally did. I didn’t think much of it because guineas sometimes like to sleep in trees anyway and we still saw them around during the day so I knew they were fine. Then yesterday the...

So I thought I would just catch the 4 weeks old keets and put them out into the chicken coop for the day. Apparently they have learned to fly, darn well! This is one sitting up on the rafter and laughing at me. FYI I eventually coaxed it down and it joined its confusion.

My last hatch of the season. IN Verona, Ontario Canada. Have Keets hatched July 18 and 19, 2021 Mainly Pearls. Also eggs, both for hatching and for eating. Chicken and guniea fowl.

This is a warning to silky lovers. I hatched 25 silky chicks and all was good. Until I put 6 guinea keets in with them. They were the same size and at first nothing was wrong. Overnight the guineas had accedently killed 22 chicks. They squished them not on purpose though 3 where left the 3 still...

I’m so excited! I am new to raising fowl and incubation. I just successfully hatched 10 keets! I’m also super excited that one is a lavender!

Hi I am hoping someone can help me. This is my first time hatching Guinea keets and I am now on Day 28 almost 29 the first one pipped start of day 24 I have 6 keets alive and 1 pending. I Also have another 11 eggs in the incubator I candled them all before lockdown it looks like they were all...

Hi, so I know this is a website about/for chickens, but I thought that similar principles applied to chicks apply when it comes to physical defects in keets. Just got 10 Pearl Guinea keets today and noticed that one of them has a messed up leg, which juts out sideways as opposed to straight up...

Guinea Keets (June/2020)

Its been 3 days since my incubator. Hatched 5 noisy guineas... Ive litteraly gone crazy.. .those little monsters peep louder than a shotgun... Thier voice is like a fork on china.... But they have good temperature food and water so they are just peeping for nothing... I keep on checking... Today...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to find some answers here as my research has turned up nothing. I have two keets that were surrendered to me. One is okay, but the other has a hard time walking as it's hocks bend both ways. The keet is eating, drinking, and growing, but it has trouble walking...

Hello! After many years of going onto this site to troubleshoot and learn, I decided to join the community! I’m a chicken and guinea owner from New York and we’ve owned chickens on and off in the past years. However, this year our flock is bigger than ever and I’m very excited to watch them grow...

Question re: guinea keets and raising them with a broody hen: I have a flock of only 4 guineas due to woefully inadequate planning last year. I also have 3 males with only one female. The female has laid 2 eggs and left them on the floor of their coop but she has shown no signs of wanting to...

Hi guys, my broody hen hatched three keets about 2 weeks ago and I just wanted to know how long can the keets stay with/under broody hen for? i also have 2 keets that were hatched a week later then the first three, can they go in with the other three keets with the broody hen once they are a...

Title says it all! I went out to feed and water the flock and found the little ones on an adventure! They all came back to the pen when they saw the feed, but it was still fun to see them explore!

After incubating for my first time, I’m proud to say that ALL OF THEM HATCHED! And they are all doing so well! I’m still in shock that beginner me was able to do it. Thank you Bob (R2elk) for helping me so much! Now I’m curious to know what colours they are! Especially with the darker ones. I...

I have a guinea hen setting on about a dozen eggs, now on week 3. I am not able to swipe the keets as they hatch to raise so plan to let momma do it (if any hatch...) What do I do about a waterer? I have read that for little keets you need marbles or something in the waterer to keep them from...

I have 4 Lavendar Guinea hen keets available hatched 6/21/19. Asking $5.00 a baby. Located in Brooksville Florida.

I still have lots of keets for sale. 14 -3 week olds 26- 10 day 3- 1 day olds My incubator is full and still hatching. Running out of room for them. These seem to be the healthiest and hardiest batch that I have had. Selling for $4 each I am in Ozark County Missouri. South central part of the...

i he a guinea keet born last night that is paler in color than the rest. He’s like 4 days later than the rest of the babies. Any ideas why he’s a different color? I have pearl guineas.
