I don't believe Miracle is fertile, the chicken/guinea cross is usually sterile.

I think it was meant for a roo covering a guinea hen again, in order to make a cross similar like Miracle.

I took it that Barred Rocks forever was wondering if I had thought about crossing another rooster and guinea hen to get a cross like Miracle again. The cross (Miracle) happened quite naturally with no intention on my part. The rooster I have now has no interest whatsoever in the guinea hens. If he were penned up with only guinea hens it might be different but I don't have any plans to do that. He is a RIR anyway so it wouldn't be the same. Miracle's dad was an EE and that is where s/he got her/his good looks.

(the beard and crazy spikey neck feathers - also the legs are just like the EE)

Hello from Miracle,

Oooooooooo...........I'm on the roost now and it is thundering and lightning outside. I can see it through the window. When it lightnings I can see the other birds on the roost. The chickens are quiet. The guineas are making soft guinea noises. I'm quiet too. It is so good to have a dry place to sleep when the weather is so bad outside.

One good thing about stormy nights like this is you can't hear the owls hooting. The owls make me nervous because Sweetie told me that they like to eat chickens and guineas. She said their favorite is chicken/guinea crosses.

I can't hear the coyotes howling tonight either. They must have found a place to hide and stay out of the rain. I don't think anybody makes nice coops for coyotes or owls. Sweetie told me to watch out for raccoons too. She said they wear masks and if I see an animal with a mask I should run as fast as I can. I hope I never see one of those but I know they are out there because Sweetie told me so.

Chicken Chicken is still sitting on a nest full of guinea eggs. She thinks they are chicken eggs and she can't wait for the chicks to hatch. When they hatch she might not even notice that they are guineas instead of chickens. It is her first time to sit on eggs and she is working very hard to keep them warm.

Remember to watch out for owls, coyotes, and raccoons!

Good night!
