I doubt you see this 2 Years later but how do guinea affect sparrows? like do you not have them around at all anymore or do they just not land and eat food because the guineas will chase them off?
Hopefully the Guineas will be eating ticks. Ducks are for their eggs, great for baking, chickens and turkeys for meat and eggs, geese for my pets and peafowl for garden pets.
I love them. (Some people don’t!) I’ve raised and free ranged them before. They seem to have about two brain cells each and you need a flock to eventually get some sense of order and the ability to form one communal thought.
That is so true. You definitely need a flock for them to survive, I hatch some but also the adult hens hatch some but we take the young off them ASAP so they hopefully survive,if we leave them to raise them we loose nearly all of the Keets.
These guys are funny to watch very territorial too Theyre originally from Africa. So they know how to flee from perditors more so than chickens or ducks. 😊
The guinea coop was 10 x 10 but we have just extended it so I can keep smaller ones next to the adults the when they are use to living in the coop and older then I can open a door inside so they can mix, the inside divide is mesh panels with a door. The extension I think is 6 x 10. Hope this helps.
Excellent documentary. Could you tell me that as a group in their coop with doors open at night (in my case) and a large orchard, will they be able to defend themselves at nights if a fox or a bobcat come by. Will they be able to fly on the trees, etc.? I don't want to confine them, yet do not want to lose them.
You could leave it open but with mine over 3/4 of them go inside in the evening and the others roost high in trees. I close the door to keep the ones inside safe. The others do well in the trees, owls are my biggest nightmare as they can get them from the trees and kill them. Once it’s night they don’t move so if a predator got in to the coop it would probably decimate them. They defend themselves well through a day but not so much at night. Hope this helps.
Mine have nests all over our farm, they eventually turn up with Keets or we find empty nests with 30+ eggs in them, i leave them until end of summer then remove the eggs. All the others still prefer to sleep in the coop at night. I leave it up to them what they do until the snow comes then they go inside for the winter where they are protected from the elements and predators.
Yes they return every night and roost in their coop. A few roost in a tree next to the coop but as it gets colder they all go inside. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.
No, they free range all summer and go in to their coop every night… totally their choice , sit on nests and hatch out their own keets and then when the snow starts they go back in their coop for the winter.
This is only their sleeping hut for those who want to go in at night, they free range over 165 acres which I am sure for the birds I have is ample space. Their winter accommodation is much bigger and we are also enlarging their summer sleeping hut this year.
I moved them to their summer hut before I took this video so they could know where their food and water is before they free range so they never have to go hungry or thirsty.

Love your channel! So genuine, unaffected & simply real. I went thru all your videos just now & its all so wholesome:)) thank you!!!
Thank you so much for you support, I,hopefully will be back posting soon. Super busy getting a few things sorted and starting a new business.
Its a miracle that these birds are able to survive in the wild. They are literally shouting: COME AND EAT ME! :)
hello from Indonesia. Beautiful coop! love the natural sound from hen duck and anything in there.. keep doing good job Kaz!
Thank you
Just close your eyes and imagine you're in an Amazon warehouse that badly needs grease for all the wheels.(I hope someone laughed😅)
I have a lot of them, I breed them
Looks like a lot of guinea for that coop!
My Guinea and Indian runner ducks love to hang out together. The Guinea also like to protect our Bourbon Red turkeys for some reason. Ha Ha
Regards from down under. :)
Beautiful coop, and a lot of guinea fowl, love to watch them☺️
Omg all that chaos and sound hahaha 10/10 😍
Brings back memories. Guinea Fowls
Great setup they all look peaceful
Muito linda sua criação! Adorei a casa delas 💞
Holy, that's a lot of guineas!
A lot indeed...
First I hated them. Now, since I'm retired and living countryside, I love them. No ticks, no mice, no annoying sparrows to steal food from hens.
I love them too

Glad I stumbled across your channel. This was so nice for me to see as I have a lot of wild guineas around my house in the city, believe it or not.
Thank you. Guineas are so funny and an amazing big eater.
"Release the Kraken."
They look like fun! Betcha no ticks in that yard in a few days time.
Excellent. Great
My, what a flock!
That is alot of birds. What will they be doing all summer?

Beautiful coop! What are dimensions of it? Really curious. We are in the process of building one for our keets but hard to find ideas. Thanks!

@@kazbleasdale1310 Thank you for the reply. I am receiving my 20 keets in mid July and your guidelines are helping me to arrange everything for them.
Happy, happy, happy!!!
The 'pecking order' seems extra strong in newly released guinea fowl.
ممتاز جدا بالتوفيق
Una bellesa que lindo no entienfo lo que dise pero es una hermosura lo que tienen
Bonjour et bon courage
Si possible d avoir des œufs à couver de pintade Galor
That constant noise!
Holy crap that's alot of guineas. Are their wings clipped?
No I don’t clip their wings, they can then escape predators.
@@kazbleasdale1310 thank you
Mini dinosaur zoo lol
You don’t need a lawn mower if you have Guinea Fowls ,
Its beautiful ❤️ how many they are 🤔
Too many to count 🤣 approx 45 then lost some to predators but also hatched some out..
@@kazbleasdale1310 lovely bird indeed
@@kazbleasdale1310 Thanks for your information 😉
Love you Kaz 🌹
Hello. Do you have shamo? I want to get information about Shamo
I don’t have any.
@@deltalove5868 shamoa 🐔
They are Japanese fighting chickens. 😊
@@deltalove5868 yes
people say guinea fowl lay eggs all over the place. now I'm wondering how they multiply in the wild before humans domesticated them?
Mine have nests all over our farm, they eventually turn up with Keets or we find empty nests with 30+ eggs in them, i leave them until end of summer then remove the eggs. All the others still prefer to sleep in the coop at night. I leave it up to them what they do until the snow comes then they go inside for the winter where they are protected from the elements and predators.
@@kazbleasdale1310 Thanks for your reply. 🙏🏽👍🏾🔥❤️
These are beautiful birds. They return to their coop at night? Which state are you in?
Yes they return every night and roost in their coop. A few roost in a tree next to the coop but as it gets colder they all go inside. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.
@@kazbleasdale1310 That is very interesting and you are living in a beautiful country.
It's a piegon coop isn't it
I made this coop for my Guinea fowl.
Do you have a step by step (guinea fowl 101) video or series?
Sorry no I don’t but I might in the future. They are easy to look after once they get trained to their sleep place/coop/barn etc
Doesn't it fly away
No, they free range all summer and go in to their coop every night… totally their choice , sit on nests and hatch out their own keets and then when the snow starts they go back in their coop for the winter.
Hey! Do you have to train them to do that?
Yes they have to be trained. I usually leave them in a new home for at least 8 weeks. Once they know their home they usually go back to it.
Hawks and Owls rejoice! Ha Ha
Your pens look over-crowded and in bad shape because of the over abundance of confined birds. You need more space or fewer birds.
This is only their sleeping hut for those who want to go in at night, they free range over 165 acres which I am sure for the birds I have is ample space. Their winter accommodation is much bigger and we are also enlarging their summer sleeping hut this year.
