    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    I don't know how many females I have. But I get 4 a day. So I am assuming 4. They lay in the spring and through summer and then go dormant.... so would that be seasonal? I don't know if my males are doing the deed either.

    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    I have 13. When they are out foraging the do not eat their pellets or scratch. I think it depends what you have in your yard. Mine eat a lot of weed seeds and bugs. I think if they are hungry they'd find something to eat. The main thing is to make sure they know where their water is. My...

    The mountain lion looked like something straight out of a movie. I was waiting for it to talk. it was just lounging. I was thinking did this escape from someone's compound? and then reality hit and I realized.... he's lounging because he wasn't afraid of me... so then I became afraid. My...

    Raising Guinea Fowl 101

    I am in sunny california. I read a lot of articles about winterizing... but I don't think that really applies to me. My gunieas are in a pen with a big shed but they choose to roost in their tree in their pen. I am not there to see what is going on so I don't know what will happen. Does...
