At what age are guinea keets ready to go out from the hen house and into the yard?
We have 4 guinea keets that are currently staying in the greenhouse. They’re flying well and are able to fly up about 12 feet to roost in the rafters of the greenhouse. Is it ok to let them leave the safety of the greenhouse now to forage in the yard? (I’m uncertain of their age–don’t know how old they were when I got them.)

Once they can fly (and can get away from predators), and have been in their new home for 2 months, they can be let loose. I recommend going to this website to learn more about it: http://www.guineafowl.com. Are they tame? If so it should be easy to get them to come back with some food. If they are untamed, it can be a little hard to do.
