Yes these are guinea fowl. I had my first flock of them in a pen but once they got out didn't come back. That is the problem as I don't want to keep them locked up. I think will just not worry about getting new birds just let the males roam around, still pretty neat birds...
These are free range. I'm guessing the coons/foxes/bobcats are getting them off nest??? Don't know. I wish they would stay with my Chickens but they don't seem to get along(the males). Live on 5 acres middle of no where....
Seems when my hens start laying, they start missing. I can't find any nest, and now I have no hens, lots of males. If I get more hens how is the best way to keep them alive ??
Wife bought 10 of each. I also have some adults of both. My question is if the chickens are raised with the guinnea's will the try to follow them and try to roost in the trees like the other?? I don't think chickens can fly that high....
My Guinneas run loose over several acres, but come home to eat. I went to feed this morning and there was 3 babies in pen eating with 3 other big ones. I trapped the 3 babies and 2 others in pen. Question is should I try to heep or just let them run with their flock. I'm sure there was a lot...
New with Guineas and after weeks of looking I found what looks llike a family nest that all the hens lay in. There must be 20-30 eggs, and not sure what to. Not interested in hatching no time.
Here is the question. My Guieneas have basically abandoned their pen and roost in the trees at night. They do eat there during the day when they or not acres away????
Anyhow I have 2 Chicken hens up at Barn and would like to move them to that pen. How is the best way to do this and keep all...
Need help. Wife has 10 Guineas that are caged at night then let ou in the am. She now has brought home 2 young chickens . How to introduce them to the guineas
Not sure where to post but I need to let my guinea's out . They are in a small pen and would like to let them out to roam, but not sure if they will come back. I live in the woods on 5 acres with lots of Turkey, Deer and Bears and who knows what else. I had Chickens and they always came back...
I have had Chickens for years and for some unknown reason to me , my Chickens just stay around barn. I have 5 acres out in the woods but they only go around barn..
Any suggestions???????
I have Chickens and was thinking about getting a few Guinea, as I heard they don't like snakes or rats and I have quite a few of both.
Question is how to introduce them into my flock???
I guess I should have started another thread as you all never read the first post I guess.
Moderator please delete this thread, if need I will start a new one.
Thanks
No my hen has not been sitting for the last few months-c'mon
