We are going to pick up a trio of Silkies tomorrow! I'll have to put them in a small coop temporarily until I finish the big coop. Was going to put the 6 Guineas in the new big coop, but them along came the Silkies……..and y'all know the rest of the story. LOL @Hinotori I could use your help and advice, please!
Can Guineas and Silkies get along with each other? Anybody ever try them together? I know Silkies can't fly, do they need a low hop-on roost or do they roost on the ground? When I build the nest boxes I can place them low enough so the Silkies won't get hurt hopping out of them.
We are getting a white rooster, a white hen and a black hen. So Excited! The Silkies and the Guineas will both be free range in the yard and go in the coop at night. I'm planning on trimming the Guinea feathers so they don't fly up and roost in the trees for owls to pick off.
