Welcome Baby Keets!
Baby keets are little Guinea fowl. They were born on Tuesday …so here they are at 3 days old. My friend Karen got some for her farm and gave us four. We hear that they are good watch dogs for the farm and chickens; as they are loud and obnoxious. They are so tiny compared to the baby chicks. They are hard to tame and have a spaz fit every time we go near the brooder box. We are handling them several times so they get used to us. So far it is not helping! They are so cute now….but just wait and see how funny they look when they grow up.

We’ve always been interested in Guinea Fowl. They are good snake and rat catchers as well as tick gatherers. And they surely will sound the alarm if anything is amiss in the chicken yard. They will prove to be a great acquisition and they are so very cool looking when they are grown.

They are so cute. I like the one with the stripes on his (her) head. Will they be larger than the chickens when they grow up?
