Letting Guineas Raise Their Young

[MTerry]

I'll have to see if I can take pictures of the adults, and compare them. I really haven't taken the time to try and figure out what colors they are.

I took pictures of some of my adults, hatched last September. I am still not sure of the colors. I do think the females are the darker colors, and I don't see spotting on any of them, male or female. Blonde, Buff, I don't know.

I think that's called tie dye

Whatever its really called, its pretty unique looking! I wonder what color mix the babies will have.

I have no clue what the first two are but the third does appear to be what is considered partially pearled (dotted) and looks like a chocolate to me. The last one could be a pewter.

Nice looking guineas.

Thank you, right now they are crazy guineas, for some reason they are fighting and chasing each other like crazy. I do think I have many more males than females, maybe that has something to do with it.

They're really pretty!! Mine are also a bit crazy right now, especially the parents, they chase everything in sight just in case it's a threat to the babies

That is pretty much normal behavior for Guineas...

Especially at bed time.

At bed time they sit in the trees and scream!

They can get noisy, my son is always threatening something. During the spring they were chasing pretty bad, they will even corner one of the birds and pluck feathers out of their backs. If I catch them I run them off, but I don't always know it's going on. Recently it was just a couple of days of chasing, one chasing the other, just zipping by.
