I have been raising some of my chickens for educators that are very tame and trained to perform even in strange environments with strangers around. I would like to try similar with a pair of Guinea Fowl. My goal is to have them come when called and to tolerate close handling. My chickens used can wander 150 feet away and will run through a crowd of people when called. Anyone have experience taming and training Guinea Fowl?
I can start this either of two ways. First is simply hand raising them where the young birds spend much of their time in a brooder as keets/chicks. The other approach is to hen-hatch and hen-rear under a game hen that promotes chicks coming to me when called.
