Can you spot the 27 guinea keets, lol? First day out in the unmowed pasture and they are in heaven. If heaven had angels that randomly charged them and nipped them, anyway. There are 3 adult guineas and their 3 subadult kids also in the pasture. Two units of Premier electrofencing to keep out predators. And if the guineas fly over the fence, they will mostly land in various chicken enclosures, anyway.

Why do people keep guinea fowl? Pest control, silly antics, and keeping watch for predators. We had a terrible tick infestation on our land before we got guineas. The very next year we saw a total of one tick on our front 4 acres. They are simple, funny birds that make us laugh daily. And they certainly do warn everyone about birds of prey overhead. Our guinea rooster calls Taps at dusk each night to call all the poultry inside.

These guinea keets hatched July 12th. Super healthy batch of keets in many fun colors. They are available for $20.00 a piece. They are flock animals and you'll need 3+ to keep them happy. They are noisy, especially the first year, so country birds only. Your guineas will need to be kept inside an enclosure for a month or so to reset their homing beacon.

Message our page or text 937-671-9317 to reserve. Pickup outside Yellow Springs, Ohio.

We moved some 6 week Buff and Chocolate Orpington chicks out with the remaining ISA Browns. The ISAs look like giants at 15 weeks.

I wouldn't mix in such young chicks if the ISAs weren't so very docile.

Current state of the guinea fowl nest in the pasture. We've pulled out 34 eggs and there are still 30+ out there, waiting for the 2 hens to decide they've laid enough.

Spooky shadow play in the new hoop coop. I gave the pullets their dinner a little late, so I left a lantern inside for them to fill their crops. 👻

We have 52 ISA Brown pullets, currently 14 weeks old. 40 are reserved and 12 are available for purchase. $30 each for these champion egg layers. You can expect 300 to 350 eggs per year, starting around 18-20 weeks of age!

My, how they've grown! Morten, Othilia, and Bertha are getting fat on 12 hours of grass per day. Soon, they'll be moving out to their new goose pen!

They say nature abhors a vaccuum. Well, chicken farmers abhor an empty brooder during chick season! We've got guinea keets in one brooder and now a new batch of pullets in the other. Lots of color variation this time - we'll see what we get!

Meet Cerbergoose! Goslings are way nicer than I expected. Like friendly, nibbly, slightly damp stuffed animals. So squishy!

These will be a triad of Sebastopol geese. Can't wait to see their ridiculous fluffy feathers!
