Great Story, Thank You so much for following with updates, Miracle is one cool looking bird!!

I just found this thread and showed my boys (8 & 10). I asked them what the last picture was and they said "some weird type of guinea with a chicken head??" When I told them what it actually was, they wanted one and wanted to know how they could make one! LOL! They think it is the coolest thing ever! Of course, I do too.

The dad looks like my roo that drowned. Beautiful boy! I think it is so neat that Miracle has the beard and muffs! I wonder if he's going to be bald like a guinea, up to the muffs? Looks like the top of his head will be "Guinea bald" and then a feathered neck.

I can't wait to see pics as his big bird feathers start coming in, and his head gets mature. It doesn't look like he'll get the bump, but could have the guinea wattles?? Can you see that? It's hard to tell too much in the pics.

I do think he will be "guinea bald" with a feathered neck. The other regular guineas have started growing their wattles but Miracle doesn't appear to be getting any yet. I don't feel a helmet starting to pop up on his head so he probably isn't going to have that either.

How did your rooster drown? Was it recently? Sorry about that!

Good luck explaining to the boys how you make one of these guys.

So you didn't artificially inseminate the hen? the roo just got to her?

No! The roo did it all on his own.

I saw on a website that it works better with ameracauana roosters...
did you do it on purpose?

Makes you wonder why EEs are so talented.

So do we know if Miracle is a male or female?

AND will Miracle be able to reproduce or will Miracle be a ChickenXGuinea mule?
