Now I want to catch one of the feral Guinea's in the neighborhood to the south of us and put it in the coop with our Blue Wheaten Roo and do some incubation.

Aww!! Miracle is very cute! LOVE the tufts and all! Is he/she still peeping? I wonder what kind of noise Miracle will make!

I get such a kick out of the LOOK the guinea keet is giving Miracle, kinda like a "Geeze, what is wrong with you!"

I was just thinking the same thing! Amazing hybrid - if it is a lady, will it lay eggs?​

No - didn't do it on purpose. The dominant roo wouldn't share the chicken hens. The EE is just an extra rooster. A very lonely extra rooster who has to spend most of his time with the guineas because the other roo runs him away. (the chickens and guineas free range together and spend the night in the same coop)

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

In this picture Little Bit is telling Miracle a secret. Wonder what it is? Hmmmmm..........maybe "Why does she keep flashing that light in our face every week?"

I think Miracle would fit very well in a Dr. Suess book.

Very interesting!

Miracle is awesome! I've been showing my boys the pics since you 1st posted. They have wanted a cross since before they saw this thread, but now they want one even more! Don't think it will happen here anytime soon as our rooster had it out with our guinea cock and the roo lost the fight. No a scratch on the guinea cock.

Think the roo will have to think again before going near the guineas.

Yep, Miracle still peeps. One day I heard a deeper peeping voice coming from the pen where the 3 little ones were. Of course I thought the deeper sound was coming from Miracle. I watched them carefully and found out it wasn't Miracle doing it. It was one of the little guineas with the deeper voice. Miracle's voice is just a light peep. It's a nice pleasant sound so far!

Is there any comb and wattle formation?
