chicken x guinea hybrids.

[muscovy94]

Hey everyone when spring comes I have really been thinking about artificialy inseminating my guinea hen with one of my roosters "stuff" and try to hatch out a chicken x guinea hybrid. Has anyone ever done this before? or, does anyone have any that has happened naturally? AND PICS IF YOU HAVE THEM. Ive seen the ones on feathersite but I would like to see my fellow BYCers pics.


thanks.

I haven't seen any in person but I have thought about putting a rooster in with mine and seeing. i would also love to know if anyone has tried it also. I hope someone can answer your question.

Feathersite has a section on guinea x chicken hybrids:

They are some weird-lookin' birds.

Especially the guinea/naked neck cross. Scroll down to see it. It's like something out of "Jurassic Park".

Have any BYCers tried this yet?

There is an old thread about "Miracle" the guinea cross on BYC. Do a search and you will find it.

Doess this cross produce sterile offspring like a mule?

Side remark. Mules are not 100% sterile.
