They're 4 weeks old now.

Still frizzled. I just moved the entire youth flock out to the 10'x10' run. There's a wire dog kennel in there that I've fixed up as a mini coop. They're a bit dazed at the move outdoors, but they should be settled in by tomorrow. smile

I hadn't thought about hatching out eggs. I have two lavendar guineas that are both boys. If at least one of these is a girl, I could definitely try to hatch out some eggs.

I'm keeping an eye on them to see if they stay frizzled. So far, they still look like this.

Are your guineas still frizzled?

I have one that hatched about a month ago that looks just like yours. I've been reading that most of them outgrow the frizzle. I'm just wondering if yours ever did.
