Why don't you want the male in with the family group? Guinea males often participate in raising the keets.I had the same question, which is how i landed on this forum. I wanted to gather the keets (13) to put into a brooder, but mama Guinea wasn’t having it! We managed to get the male away from mama Guinea and her babies and guide them into a hoop coop (Separate from the main coop). Mama is calling out to her mate, but there’s no way I’m letting her and her babies out or him in. I’m thinking maybe a week or 2 and I’ll be able to let mama out, since the keets should have their feathers and won’t need mama for the warmth (it’s August so keets should be fine).
