How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] HEN killed my new young guinea

Ohh, I mainly want to let others know so not to make the same mistake I made.
And, yes my silkies are in another coop and never mixed. They are just too delicate - it seems.

I'm very sorry to hear! I do not have guineas, but have been scared to even mix my silkies with rest of my flock even while I move and clean the silkie coop..... I cannot imagine your loss!

Huggs offered!
