Keets Housing

What you need to raise Guinea Fowl
(For the First Two Weeks)

For the first two weeks young keets should be kept indoors under a heat lamp at 95º F. You can use a cardboard box to help the heat stay in.

These keets are placed in a very small stairwell type room in a 200 year old house. There are two doors one leading to the outside and the other leading to the basement inside of the house. With the two doors kept closed there is no breeze and the temperature stays warm in the small room.

Hungry Little Keets!
Food should be available at all times using a self feeder.

Marbles should be placed in the water dish to prevent very young keets from drowning. They will suck the water out from between the marbles. Water should be changed daily, as the keets will walk over top of the water getting droppings in it.

These keets are now 3 days old. Notice the mirror behind the cage. Guineas love to see their refection. They also enjoy their refection from the thermometer inside the cage. They peck at it often. If you are wondering what that white thing it hanging into the cage, it is a second digital thermometer that keeps track of the highest and lowest temperature. Just doing a little experimenting.
