Hey nice to meet you guys

I have been reading some of the topics for a couple of week and learnt more in that time than the last 3 years its not surprising its the no1 forum. I do have a question on buying some new guinea fowls that are different ages. I know I have to lock them in the coop for 2 or 3 months but is that the same for all ages? I will have some about 3 months old and some 1 year old

Thanks guys and keep up the excellent work the forum is amazing
