Confused Guinea chick

[toredano]

One of my Guinea fowl was trying to have its way with my turkey poult.

Turkey didnt object .. Guinea is still rather young.. so it might have been a dominance thing but it sure looked like the Guinea meant business.. Good thing they are still small..I would hate to see the end result of that breeding...

/shudder

lol. i have seen a half guinea half chicken before it was actually a strikingly beautiful bird. but a turkey/guinea

probably would be uuuuggglllyyy!!! lol.

LOL, obe you must have seen a different breeding than I did. The ones I saw were UGly. That`s UGly with a capital UG. Like creatures only a mother could love........Pop

Ha!! I doubt the mother would even love those!! A turkey/guinea wouldn't be all that different than one or the other, but it would be interesting to see!

I haven't found anything of turkeys and guineas crossing. I'm not sure if it isn't possible or just doesn't happen. I have seen lots of guin hen (chicken x guinea). Some are ugly, some aren't so bad, and some are quite interesting. Feathersite.com also has peafowl x guinea which are interesting but it says they only live 4years and like all the guinea hybrids are sterile. They also have a naked neck chicken x guinea which definitely falls under the ugly half of the guin hens.

It would be a sight to see tho..

I am sure it was just a dominance thing for now. My turkey is barely 3 months old IF that.

The guineas are a bit older and among them I have not seen any breeding behavior.
I just couldnt imagine that outcome. lol

true some are ugly and more but it depends on the breeds. this is a salmon favorolle/guinea x and is very beautiful i found the pic. on chicken crossing it says she doesn't cluck or make guinea noises it make a sharp whistling sound

if there are pea guineas out there i bet there could be turkey guineas lol haha.
