Yes, they love it. And I love giving it because its something they would have eaten wild in Africa.

My egg Hunter. A little back story on Ari, we found her on the road mid day, mid summer.. she was almost dead. Her paw pads were torn off from running, she was thin and very bad coat condition (missing fur) and her teeth are worn down a lot. That day my sister found her it was high 90°F and my sister said "you need a ride" and Ari climbed into my sisters air conditioned Jeep and passed out..she was exhausted. The vet said she had probably had many litters of puppies, I had her spayed and her stomach tacked. Ari for short, we said she is a Warrior and her named fit her and she fit into our family perfectly. Here she is pulling out my guinea eggs ❤

1st day in their coop! The light in the little plastic barn is battery charged Christmas lights (not a heat lamp). ..i gave them some light since guineas are blinded by darkness. We call these the half dozen bakery bunch.. Brownie, Pie, Cupcake, MiniMuffin, Cruller & Fritter.
