Many owners have said that it is a wonder the birds have survived at all given their intelligence levels.They will roost in places where they get picked off by owls or raccoons, nest in dangerous spots and do other suicidal things too like crossing roads when cars are coming; they are definitely not bright.In Australia they are known as Goonie birds – very appropriate we think!Guinea hens can function well as both an independent unit or as a flock – this behavior is natural to them in the wild.The guinea takes ‘flocking’ to a whole new dimension – where one goes, they all go (a bit like sheep)! I’ve also seen her sticking her head under one of the chickens as if cuddling under them like a chick under a mother hen, and she pants when I pet her neck (saw a video of someone petting a Guinea hen’s neck and the hen started panting, so I was wondering what that means).I’ve been told my keet is probably a male (based on the behavior) but is there a chance Victoria really is a pushy female? They remained separated in the same coop for 3 weeks and then let out to mingle. suggestions?We raised 3 keets with 3 ducklings together in the same brooder.. After a few weeks we raised 18 chickens separately from theM until they were the same size. If so, how do you deal with them?Greneaux Gardens celebrates growing in every season of life. And I know that if she is driving me crazy, then the neighbors must be thinking of ways to murder me in my sleep! Also when young the chickens would forage with them, Now they are all much older but they still often hang out together. I have 3 guniea fowls. I let the chickens and guineas free range twice a day, at least for an hour at a time. The box is about 3 feet off the ground in the barn and I’m not sure what to do. And the Guinea will not let any other Tom’s near him… He will chase them off and harass them until they leave. They make NO NOISE at all, nothing, just a little chirp hear and there.
And yes, they do not do well raising keets.
We live in central Oregon, high desert. I’d really like to keep her/him because I’m really attached, but I also don’t want my hen to end up hurt or worse, dead.I have a side compartment built inside the run area (about 4′ x 8′) that is currently housing my one older hen who is still getting used to the new chickens. Other, perhaps more realistic folks, will tell you they will alarm for a plane flying over, the neighbor’s dog barking or because a leaf fluttered by.Initially this will startle your chickens, it might even put them off lay for a short time, but they should adjust eventually.Guineas tend to lay eggs communally – where one lays, they all lay. They are funny birds, though, and FAST.I raised 7 keets with 3 chicks. Every time the yelling starts, spray the hose at the chicken (resist the urge to put it on the jet setting, this is for instructional purposes only).
It must be because he is the only guinea.I have 4 males and 1 female. No signs of other eggs pipping now. She started calling a few weeks ago, and she’s been making alarm sounds and the single-syllable call (I think) – no ‘buck-wheat’ sound yet, but it isn’t constant and she’s actually been pretty quiet compared to what I’ve read, even when birds fly overhead.So, I’m wondering if I’m worrying too much (that this is just normal behavior and so long as no one is getting injured it will pass) or if re-homing is the best thing to do. the chicks dove into the grass and hid until mom called them out.
A few weeks ago I heard them sounding off, and looked out the window. I have not observed any sexual activity. If you have ever trained a dog, it is very similar, and all you need for quiet, well-behaved backyard chickens is water! (Our last keets got eaten by feter male cats).I had 6 chicks and 6 guineas together for about 2 monthes. I have put the eggs under light, but I don’t know if they are fertile. You must decide- deal with the noise or get rid of the chicken.
Had to separate them from it so it could escape. This may sound like stating the obvious but it does need to be understood that they are very different birds indeed.This article will help you understand the dynamics of these two very different birds.It is possible to keep the two together but it will take some adjustments on your behalf. So I was concerned of introducing them to my 5 chickens (speckled Sussex). The Romans brought them back from their African campaigns and tried to domesticate them. We enjoy watching them peck the ground. At night the G’s will roost on the Hen house. You have to wait until they can fight back or get away. I’ve never had a problem with the Guineas bullying my chickens but hey first guinea has bullied my turkeys before. They will not stray and will come back to the coop or roost in nearby trees. Now about a month after they started free ranging (I coop at night) they will not let the chick anywhere near…they chase him off and peck at him.
Any suggestions welcomed.I would try to see if your community has a facebook page to get more outreach and see if she belongs to someone or try searching for a local Humane Society if you decide not to keep her.How do you raise chicks and keets together if they require different food?
Guineas don’t go by the pecking order like chickens.Is it necessary to keep adult guineas away from newly hatched keets & should hen & keets be kept in coop for a whileI just picked up 28 Guinea Geets this morning – they are 2 days old. An hour at the most is all you will need.
She will be guarded by her mate who will keep an eye open for danger during the daytime, at night she is on her own.When the keets hatch she will march them back to the flock – over hill, down dale, through water…it’s a small miracle that any survive since the keets are susceptible to cold and damp.
