No need for a real gate if all you are doing is keeping chickens in their place.

Ya may need another male guinea or 2....they are different than chickens and they "service" fewer hens than roosters do....similar to ducks.....

That’s kinda what I was thinking. I like that a WHOLE LOT better than having to build a gate right now!
Well, if that is the case. I think we will forego raising guineas, to sell right now. I don’t want to spend anymore money on birds!!! My goal is to raise our own birds from now on. If I can find a couple male guineas, locally, I might do that. But, we have enough going right now. We don’t need to be bringing new birds onto the property. But, thanks for the head’s up on that CntryBoy!Ya may need another male guinea or 2....they are different than chickens and they "service" fewer hens than roosters do....similar to ducks.....

My guinea's eggs disappeared and she abandoned the last two. Next time I will move the nest and coop her. Then she will quit.....isn't that how it goes? DV you have such lovely broody hens! But I have chicks hatching in the incubator right now! gotta go check, BRB!
I just took 9 out of the incubator!
Already took 3 out, so that gives me 12 chicks and 2 more are pipping. I have 17 from the first batch outside in one of those little A frame coops. After we butcher the Cornish Cross and I figure out which ones are roosters, the roos will go in the chicken tractor to grow off for slaughter. We are looking forward more to eating the young layer roos than the CCX!
