GGW = Guineas Gone Wild

[PeepsCA]

Quote: Until breeding season hormones kick in...

Better prepare yourself, cuz it'll most likely get ugly. Mixed flocks that include Guineas at breeding time can get pretty aggressive towards each other, with the Guineas usually being the biggest problem and most aggressive.

Hope your mixed flock stays peaceful and content, but more often than not the Guineas will be the ones that start causing problems. At the first sign of aggression I'd boot all the Guineas out so your other birds don't suffer blood loss or end up dead. JMHO. Best of luck with them tho.

I have one guinea... He likes to stay with my chickens, but is that ok?

Sure, as long as he's not beatin' the snot out of your roosters or excessively breeding your Hens to the point that they won't lay... or if any of them end up dying from the stress he causes them (if indeed you do have a male Guinea. Hens typically do much better alone in a flock of other poultry than the males do).

He's only tried to mount them once, but the hens attacked him!

He likes to fight the roosters but he only does like once every two weeks and it lasts like 2 minutes. I feel bad for him! I need more guinea, but no one has them :/

Thanks, but they're an hour and a half away! :/

You can always ask if they will meet you 1/2 way. Or ship you eggs when the time comes.

Great idea! ;D
