First Guineas

[chickenenthusiasts5698]

I got my very first flock of Guineas I got 3 adult hens a couple weeks ago along with 3 juveniles (who I believe to be 2 males 1 female) I love them they’ve calmed down so much since I put them in with my chickens. I finally got some pictures today (they’re so hard to photograph)

ME TOO!

They’ve but even such a joy. I had the older 3 guineas by themselves and they were crazy but they’ve become so mellow (as mellow as a guinea can get) since I put them in with the chickens.

I have three old guys just waiting for me to let them younger ones out. That won't be for a couple months. The three are really tame - well as tame as guineas get.
Incubated and brooder the older ones and these youngins in our living room.

My best guineas have been hatched and raised by broody chickens. They weren’t tame, but they would stick close to the farm instead of living in the woods. They’re so stinky in the brooder, almost as bad as ducks.

Nice guineas - I like the pied patterning!
