guinea

I am looking for kenya crested guinea fowl my female died. Also I am looking for vulturine guinea fowl.

Hi, I am looking into hatching some Guinea fowl. I’ve tried a couple of times unsuccessfully and was wondering if anyone had any tips. I’m used to hatching chickens and ducks. Are guineas more difficult? Thanks

hi all funny how you dont encounter and join a forum until you need help isnt it. thanks for accepting me. We have 5 guinea fowl about 9 months old. Yesterday we moved the guineas into a new bigger coop next to the chickens as they are mesmerized by the hens. A couple of hours a go I...

This past weekend (last friday night) a raccoon got into my chicken yard and injured one of my male guineas. From what I can tell it only ripped out some feathers and possibly cut him on his neck however I only saw blood on his neck but no wound. I ended up bringing him inside that night as it...

I have a rooster, Casanova that was raised with guinea keets and other chicks by a hen. He knows he is a chicken. The Guinea is madly in love with him, guards his pen and keeps an eye on all of my birds but prefers to gawk at Casey and hangs out around his pen all day. The bond this Guinea has...

I have two Guinea hens and I have NO CLUE how to tell them apart… I can’t do it by call because as soon as I get close to the coop or pasture they are both doing warning calls and I don’t know who’s who. I can kind of tell who’s who when they are inside the coop not screaming at me, lol. Here...

My male guinea started limping recently and his legs started shaking, getting worse quickly. When i checked his feet, i noticed these big black scabbish things in his toes. My first thought was bumblefoot, but after soaking in very warm water with epsom salts for at least twenty minutes and...

I have only ever incubated chickens, so I’m not sure if guineas should look like this. Are these two eggs dead? The first two pictures are the same egg, the second is a different. They have dark spots that don’t look like embryos. I’m thinking the last one could be a blood ring, or at least the...

I have an adult maybe 4 year old guinea with a swollen head/sinuses. All around his eyes. It started about a month and a half ago. I had him on metronidazole for 2 weeks at the onset, and it seemed to get better but it quickly (like 2 days) came back after stopping the medication. I put him...

my guinea boy has a hurt leg, he has no open sores or wounds. the foot is hot and he isnt able to move his tallons like he does on the other foot. my rooster earlier in the week had something where he was limping also so im wondering if it is something that will fix on its own or not. is he...

I am new to owning guineas and have a mixed flock with them and chickens. They have been doing great, and are about 2 months old and have been in their coop and outdoor run area for 2 weeks. I live in Iowa, USA. It had been very dry, so the guineas had been sleeping by roosting on the roof of...

Hello! Scoured around on google to see if I could find an answer to my question but still don’t have a very clear answer! Anyway here’s the question with back story: One of our hens has been sitting on a nest for a good minute now and this week/next week is when we figured she would start...

My second flock includes 15 chicks and 3 guineas. My plan was to give them outdoor time every day over the next several days and put them back into the brooder each night and then eventually start putting them into the coop at night with the older flock until they are well integrated. I made up...

I currently own one male guinea hen who has became the "pack leader" of my flock of chickens. Recently I noticed the male guinea hen has started mating with the hens. Around the same time my hens have stopped laying in the coop and all have been laying in a nest they share in some brush. One of...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So I don’t exactly know what is exactly wrong with this keet he is looking kinda lethargic and sickly I gave him some vertrx and some grasshopper because I noticed he wasn’t eating as much and know I’m gonna try to give him a boiled egg any ideas why he is doing this thanks
