I have total 14 guinea fowl and haven't seen a tick for years. # are male the rest female. 4 of our females disappeared for a long time. over the next 3 days all the girls came back trailing them was a total of 52 babies. I'm kinda panicking right now. For years we have been pretty slick and mostly eaten the eggs. when they did hatch some out it was never a glut like this. They hatched them out in the guinea fowl stall.
So I keep feeding them and the moms disappear and there is more and more keets that keep showing up.
1. How do I label the new keets and get them to
think that the guinea hatch is home without ruining things to much.
2. Do I wait a few more days to see if more come?
3/ I don't plan to keep any of the males or any that seem to aggressive from the new hatch.
4. do i get rid of the males fathers and trade for new ones?
5. when do I stop throwing out millet to attract all these babies and adults and put them in the stall so they know where home is? Do I wait more days to see if more show up?
