I am having an unacceptable problem. My Guineas are picking on my laying hens. I really don't want to have to restrict them to a small pen, because all they do is run back and forth trying to get out.
I'm thinking it is just the male causing the proplem( I have two females and one male) but I'm not absolutely sure. I thought about clipping the male's nails and beak. I have to come up with something because if it doesn't stop, they are going in the freezer because the hens help pay a lot of the feed bill and are much more valuable to me than the Guineas. I really enjoy my Guineas and don't understand why within the past few days they have started being mean. Especially since they were raised together.
Any ideas?
