Hi, I have one quinea that is 8 weeks old. He, or she, whichever it is, was injured by a dog and cannot fly. It is walking fine and eating and drinking fine.
I have 3 Buff Orpington day old chicks and 6 day old guineas coming in around 10 days.
As of right now the guinea has the whole henhouse to itself.
The house is set up with a heat lamp and everything need for the day old chicks and keets. (I have raised several chicks in there from day one before, in case someone is wanting to tell me to put them in a brooder.) They do just fine in the coop with the correct lighting for heat.
My question is, will I be able to leave the juvenile guinea in with the day old babies or will it harm them? Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks, Chris
