Eh, - I've started deferring to the 2 youngins as "The Twins", but when they wldnt go in the coop long after everyine else last night, I was calling them "you insufferable pias".Sad but welcome to BYC.
Manny,mo,jack.alldiffent colors had them for 5yrs so far.I agree with @My2butterflies ,if they stand out they get a name, like my white female that was the only egg that hatched out of eight I bought off Ebay, hence her name is Ebay and a few others with stories so they get names. My 10 young adults(4 guinea brooded and 6 garage brooded) are all very similarly pied and naming would be very confusing. Guinea are a taste treat for sure and I had planned on culling a few to get my ratio correct but I'm at 8 hens and 7 cocks which I feel is pretty good and i don't want to mess that up. But having just bought a 50# bag of white millet and shocked by the price rise $20 to $37 (anybody else get that) , I may change my tune
Boy guineas say CHI CHI,girls say ,get back ,I don’t know whyHow do you guys know your guineas apart? I can only tell my lavender guineas from the pearl grays. I used to name them when I only had like 5 but now with 15+ I can't keep track of them lol.
It helps a lot if the guineas are different colors. For pied birds, I look at their pattern and any shapes I see. Telling apart Pearl greys is particularly hard for me! I currently have five and can still find my older girls, but the new girls and boys are tough. They are young yet, so I’m hoping casque size and shape will eventually help there.How do you guys know your guineas apart? I can only tell my lavender guineas from the pearl grays.
