Guinea fowl are very easy to raise. Guinea fowl require, a heat source 90 - 95 degrees, for the first 2 weeks, after that, turn the heat down 5 degrees every week, until room temperature. They will require no heat after they are fully feathered, then they can be placed out doors. Guinea fowl need a high protein feed ( 28% to 30% ), such as turkey starter, pheasant starter. Place the feed on a piece of paper, news paper, on the ground of the brooder. This will help your chicks find their food. Make sure you keep your chicks dry, to prevent problems in the future. If you have bought chicks from a hatchery, make sure you dip there beak in warm water when arrival. You may also add 1 spoon of sugar per quart of water, this gives them a chemical reaction. It makes the bird, sleepy, hungry, and thirsty. Make sure you don't have a deep water bowl for you guineas, or they will get wet and chill or drown. Use marbles or rocks to fill the water area. A large car board box 2 or 3 square feet, it makes a great brooder for 25 - 30 chicks. Make sure your brooder is easy to clean. Another good Idea is to always have an extra heat source, this way if your light bulb breaks, you will have a back up. 

  The incubation period for a guinea is 26-28 days. It is very ideal to keep eggs under a broody hen. A bantam can set under (10-15 eggs) or a chicken can set under (25-30 eggs) Or you can incubate them in a egg incubator. Temp should be 99.5 degrees ( still egg incubator 100 degrees). Humidity should be at least 50 %.
