I was wondering that too.

You can eat them....eat the eggs...I mainly use them for bug control..(they eat just about any insect) and they guard the yard....eat mice, snakes...etc...If there is anything flying over they alarm and everyone knows to watch out....Mine lay their eggs with the chickens...just awesome to own...! If you like chicken TV, you'd love Guinea TV...Funny little creatures!

will they come back like chickens do to roost and get locked up or do I have to chase them down?

 

[chickenlittle32]

Mine roost with the chickens..I can hold them etc....When I hatched this flock a year ago....I raised them with the chicks I hatched...held them as much as possible. The more you associate with them...the better they are IMO.

I can't wait to get mine! I was hoping they'd be here in Saturday's mail, so I could set them tonight. Got my eye's peeled for the mail lady tomorrow!!

I hear Guinea's like to visit the neighbors down the street and are very noisy. Is this true?

 

[chickenlittle32]

These are a lil bigger than LF chickens...Yep can eat pellets when they get about 6months or so...oh I forgot to mention, they eat ticks as well!

Hey happy...I sure hope they get there tomorrow...I tried tracking...but for some reason, the PO doesn't scan the packages like they are supposed to...
