Guineas are famous for eating ticks and insects and for sounding the alarm when anything unusual shows up. Pearl is the classic dark gray guinea with white spots. Keets need extra warmth for their first weeks: start at 95°F and lower it about 5°F a week until they're feathered.

Keet care overview
Keet care overview
Brooder temperature: Start at 95–100°F for the first week, then lower it about 5°F each week until they're fully feathered. Keets chill easily, so keep them warm and dry.
Food: Feed a turkey or game bird starter with 24–28% protein. Regular chick starter doesn't have enough protein for keets.
Water: Use a shallow waterer with clean marbles or pebbles in the tray. Keets are tiny and can drown in very little water. Dip each beak gently into the water on arrival.
Footing: For the first few days, use paper towels or a rough shelf liner over the bedding instead of slick newspaper, to help prevent splayed legs.
Cover the brooder: Keets fly early, often within a couple of weeks, so keep a secure screen or lid on top.
Watch for: Huddling under the heat source means they're too cold. Panting or moving away from the heat means they're too warm. Active, spread-out babies are comfortable.
