I find this statement highly unlikely. I have no idea how they could determine the male to female ratio in the wild given that the sexes cannot be identified by sight. The fact that females are highly susceptible to predators when on their hidden nests, it is far more likely that males...

I will trust people that actually raise guinea fowl rather than someone that pretends to be an expert. Those are usually the same kind of people that claim guinea fowl mate for life. I have raised guineas with chickens and without chickens. The imprinting that happens when brooding keets with...

This is really bad advice. The space is critical. Too many people think that they can cram guineas into the same small area that they already have over populated with chickens. Guineas need far more space than chickens need. By not following the well known proper ratio of one male to one...
