guinea

My dog got ahold of one of my guineas in the yard and gnawed on her back a little and her wings quite a bit. She doesn't seem to have any puncture wounds and I don't see any blood, just missing a few feathers and she couldn't get up. Her legs seem to be fine. I don't know if her wings are broken...

I have a Bator of Guinea eggs not all are viable but some are. I locked down Friday evening (day25) and then had my first hatch Saturday morning (day26) it hatched within 40min of pipping the shell. Second keet was out of the shell this morning. Q 1. How long can I leave them in the bator...

Looking for some advice. We purchased 2 guinea keets from Rural King yesterday. Today the ones bottom was messy. Not bad, nothing a wet warm paper towel couldn't clean up. After cleaning him I seen his bottom was swollen. Thought it might look better this evening. Looks the same but I took...

I was hunting around for some worms to give my mama duck with newly hatched babies and I found a mouse nest with a small mouse. Before I could chicken out ;) I stomped on it with my boot until I stopped moving long enough for me to grab it (with gloves on) and fling it in my 6-week-old keets...

I live in southwestern Ontario and was wondering if there is somewhere close to me that I can buy young Guinea keets. I am not having much luck with hatching them and my last broody was killed last night.:hit Does anyone know of a place I could buy more?

My free range Guinea has gone broody outside with no protection. I stretched a piece of mesh around her with a board on top but I am concerned that a fox will get her. Does anyone have any suggestions or some type of protection ideas that I can provide for her? Also because of the way I rigged...

Hello, We are raising 22 guinea keets and 4 peafowl, all of which are only 1 month old. They are in our house right now, in separate cages (guinea in one, peas in the other). We converted a horse stall into a coop for the birds, all enclosed with chicken wire to keep predators out. We raise...

We have over 60 guineas of the following colors: Coral Blue, Violet, Powder Blue, Slate, Chocolate, Pearl, White, Buff Dundotte, Purple. They all run together so I cannot give certain colors. My customers reported great results from hatching our shipped guinea eggs the last two years. This...

We have five male guineas. One is three years old and the others are two. This summer they have become very lazy. They spend a lot of time laying in the driveway or in the shade instead of foraging the property as they have done in the past. They make a couple quick loops around the house each...

My family and I are faced with some challenging choices. Currently I am living in Western PA, yet we are faced with potentially having to move back to our old house in Temple PA. (right outside the city of reading, Muhlenberg school district) where I have lived most of my life. Currently I have...

I -very- recently made an order to Cackle Hatchery for Rhode Island, Barred Rock, Australorp chicks and 5 random guinea keets. I want to know if I can raise them together, and I have quite a few questions as I have never raised guineas, let alone with other species. 1. What should I feed them? I...

I am planning on getting chicks very soon, probably in a couple of days. I have recently moved to a house on a very large chunk of forested land, with a grassy front yard, and lone star ticks are EVERYWHERE :barnieIt turns out this is one of the worst years for tick issues, and locals say it is...

I have 11 guineas that free range our farm (and get locked in their coop at night). I've currently got about 30 eggs in the incubator, and want to add some of the "new ones" to my flock once they are old enough. Any advice on the best and safest way to integrate? I've got a few ideas, but want...
