    Stray keet in our acreage

    Backstory - we have a flock of neighborhood guineas (4) that roam between 3 lots. We feed and water them and they show up every morning. 1 has been missing for weeks. We assumed it was a predator. Fast forward to today and we found a crying keet in our lot, on her/his own trying to get in with...

    Guineas for protection?

    We had our first predator attack yesterday. Three chickens gone. 😭 We are guessing fox. We free range and realize the risk. We don’t have the ability to make a run sufficient in size for our birds. At first, we considered getting a herding dog as a barn dog to help protect. But then someone...

    Will she get attacked?

    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...

    Something attacked my Guinea fowl…

    I had 4 guineas… they were originally in a pen with our 33 chickens, but they kept attacking some of the chickens badly. We made them their own coop/enclosure & let them free range. Only lasted about 3 weeks and something ate 3 out of my 4 guineas. I’ve put the last one in with the chickens...

    Guinea Hen Foot Injury

    Hello, we think one of our guineas broke its foot without us noticing at first. She is having trouble walking. One of the types is completely under the other two and the foot is kind of turned so she is walking on just that toe. She doesn't put pressure on it and I see the leg trembling when...

    Fox attack - now what?

    Been battling a daytime fox for the month of May and was just starting to hope that things had calmed down, but the fox finally got one of my guineas today at 11am.

    When should my Guineas start laying?

    I got my Guinea keets last June. I live in PA. At what point should the females start laying? I was planning on hatching them for people, but I'm not sure what to tell them for a time frame.

    Are they all THIS noisy?

    We have had Mr. and Mrs. Guinea in our flock of chickens since they were keets two years ago. She wasn’t very noisy the first year, but is progressively becoming noisier and noisier. It’s to the point now, that while everyone else is foraging and sunbathing, she’s strolling around loudly...

    Hatching Guineas

    We bought 2 guinea keets last year, managed to keep both alive to adulthood and have them end up being a male and female. I'm interested in hatching some of their eggs this year- any tips? Are they much different to incubate than other birds? Also, I thought they'd look a lot different than...

    Male guinea chasing

    A few months ago a family friend gave us 4 of their birds that they couldn’t care for, 3 pullets and a young guinea fowl, after some research I found out about guinea mating practices and figured out that we had a male. I realized of course that since he had been raised with chickens he would...

    When should female Guinea Fowl start laying eggs?

    Hi all! So I have some guinea fowl that hatched on May 24th. They ended up all being females, which was a blessing. I've owned Guineas for a few years but I've never had females- only males. So I'm super happy to have these. :D But my question is- when should they start laying eggs? They're...
