    This is SO cute!!! Guinea hatched out a chicken this morning!

    My latest batch of guinea eggs are not due to hatch for another 10 days or so.......so I was VERY surprised to see a broken egg shell out of the nest this morning! Moved the hen slightly and a chick appeared from under her - A GINGER CHICK! After I picked myself off the floor dying with laughter...

    A tiny miracle!

    Hi all you guinea lovers! I've had quite a few hatches this year already from my guineas sucessfully sitting on nests around our property, the last batch hatched last Saturday under a huge brush pile, but me and hubby scooped up the babies as soon as Angry Mother left the nest with them...

    Nightmare hatching overload!

    Absolute nightmare of a day yesterday, the 40 eggs under the 2 hens sharing the nest by the barn started to hatch yesterday and the 2 mothers LEFT the nest when they had 6 babies. Eggs were cracking so I ended up scooping them all up and putting them under a heat lamp where so far 8 have hatched...

    Cannot decide what to do with this!

    For once in their manic lives, my guineas have shown some sense! In the past week they all decided to visit my neighbors house, surrounding her car and screaming at the top of their lungs while she was unpacking her shopping, and then when she returned to her car to get more groceries out, she...

    Streak - upclose and personal!

    This is Streak - our slightly, well very odd Guinea, he was one of my original keets, I suspect Peeps may remember me asking about his 'deformed' face - well I finally got some good photos of him! He is my only white guinea. Look at his eyelashes, LOL!

    I need HELP QUICK - Guinea with a broken leg.

    Ahhhhhhhhh - new day, new problem, I've been warning the guineas to STAY AWAY from the horses at feeding time, they insist on getting under the horses feet picking up the dropped feed - and this morning one of them got stomped on - I'm pretty sure it has a broken leg, its a bit bloody and...

    I know I have some disease in my flock - but just don't know what to do!

    I'm at my wits end, I lost another guinea overnight. I've lost around 4 over the past few months, the same symptoms, I notice one is not acting right, and separate it if I can catch it, or when it gets sick enough to be able to grab it, keep it under a heat lamp, but I know its a lost cause...

    Who says Guineas are unsociable?

    I took a short video today of my Guineas, and what they do as soon as I walk out of the house:) They do at times sit on my deck rail waiting for me.....but today they were by their coop:)

    Photos of my Guinea babies!

    These are photos of the 24 guineas that were hatched under my deck early September - all survived and are now nearly fully grown. Just the cutest day watching them emerge from under the mother - especially as a male went and sat next to her when the hatching started, every time one emerged, he...

    I'm a Grandmother! I have babies!

    After what seems AGES, and almost being at the point of thinking my 2 guinea girls that have been sitting on one pile of eggs in the chicken coop were imagining that their eggs were fertile - I have at least 2 babies today - I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am! I knew when I drove into our...

    Male guinea moving the eggs in the nest!

    Does anyone have any idea what William is doing - caught him yesterday in the coop moving the eggs around with his beak while his girlfriend just looked on. He wasn't pecking at them, just moving them around in the pile. I did ask him what on earth he was up to, but he just ignored me

    Guinea sitting on nest in chicken coop!

    Hi there! I'm new here and have a few questions. I've got 3 guineas (I think 1 male and 2 females) - they always used to stick together like glue in the day and at night roosting in the tree by the chicken coop - but now 2 of them wander around together and one stays on its own (don't even know...
