Guinea Hen/Chicken Crosses (Apparently it is possible)

[Flutterbee]

My rooster is really into one of our guinea hens. Like, they are always together. He sits on her. She picks things off his waddle. ...They even have some romance. I read online that they can actual crossbreed. So I wanted to hatch some of her eggs...anyone have an idea of the gestation period?

25-26 days according to the Feathersite web page on guinea hybrids (link below). That's if they are more like the guinea...if they are more chicken-like it's 21-22 days.

The guinea-naked necks are kind of scary looking!
