Guinea attacked by dog/7 left/ will they be ok in confinement?

[Hope Frazier]

We dunked ours in boiling water after dispatching them. The feathers were a little harder than chickens but not as hard as a duck to pluck. They are a little tougher bird, which is why i generally cook them in the slow cooker.

I put mine in the slow cooker with some stock, onion, celery and garlic. I put garlic onion lemon wedge and a slice of green apple in the cavity. I basted them a few times over the period of 6 hours (u dont have to baste)but u can cook all day for more of a stew style. It comes really good and i change it up a little each time with different seasoning etc.

man, sounds good !! i dunked too. maybe my wrist isnt what it should be. lol question, why an apple? you have my attention.

An apple slice will help keep the breast juicy in any bird. Try it, it works. I use an apple slice everytime i cook a whole bird of any kind. I dont know why but i think i got it out of a country cooking magazine.

Thats the only way to cook a whole chicken=) i might try that with a guinea..

 

[Granny Hatchet]

was your cleaned guinea black/black? i thought i may not of bleed it right

 

[Hope Frazier]

Some were darker than others but not completely black. I dont really know if that would be a bleeding issue. Ill ask my husband.

Back on the original post, we have decided to attempt to keep rest of the guineas. I am going to pester my husband into making a moveable pen for them to be in during the day. They are crate trained so they will be safe at night.
