Guinea Hybrid.. Or just a weird looking chick?

[MillersFarm]

I've seen him peck at the ground and run up to mama when she'd call them over for a treat but I haven't actually seen him eat anything, He's drinking well so that's great. I'll have to watch him closely to see if he's actually eating.

It doesn't look like any guinea I've ever hatched. And I've hatched hundreds. Guinea keets are really tiny and the chick just looks too big to be a cross. It Just looks like a very cute chick to me!
Hopefully @R2elk will chime in on this one!

I've never seen a guinea/chicken chick before so i've got no idea if she's a mix or just a normal chick. He Sounds like a normal chick to me, He has a really needy personality and is super friendly unlike any keet i've raised. But I guess I wont truly know until he feathers out

Another point to make is that it would be rare for a male guinea to breed a chicken. A guinea has a penis and I don't think a chicken is built to accept one. A rooster can fertilize a guinea hen but not usually the other way around.I've seen my roosters breed guinea hens but have never seen a male try to breed a chicken.
That's my opinion anyway.

I had no idea about that, I had a lavender pied guinea roo that would follow my buff orph everywhere but never mounted her. Thank you for your opinion anyways I never new that about guineas..

What egg did he hatch from?

Hybrids can be considerably larger than the parent stock.

If you breed a male lion to a female tiger, you get a Liger. They're massively larger than either parent.

If you breed a male tiger to a female lion, you get a tigon. They're no larger than the parents - to my understanding, the lion instills growth inhibitors, but it's been a long time since I read up on them.

I think that’s correct, I looked it up after the first time I saw Napoleon dynamite.
