Ah man. I miss my guinea fowl. I ended up moving and giving them away to a former neighbor. They are supreme tick eaters, which is why I got them to begin with. Other than that, they're just utterly retarded and amusing as hell to watch. And yes, their eggs are SO good. Way better than chicken eggs. Enjoy your guineas! They're the best. Post more pics too.

Avshalom posted:the keets went marching bravely out into the field yesterday and only four came back Can they fly yet? They will absolutely roost in a tree instead of going back into the coop at night if they can. I spent many evenings pulling guineas out of trees and putting them away at night. They'll also do this thing where they find some really tight vegetation to nest down into. You'll only be able to find them by listening to them if they do this. I had one hen who just had this overwhelming need to always nest in this great big patch of poison ivy that was wedged under some really low pine branches. It took me 2 days to find her the first time.

Avshalom posted:i'll be buying some more eggs soon and the madness will start again Give those eggs to a broody hen. Save you the fuss of an incubator and the keets will be more likely to be coop oriented. Also looking forward to more guinea pics and stories
