Thank you for joining us at Backyard Chickens. I never knew males helped out. At our zoo, they free range guineas and peafowl to deal with insect problems. They like to hang around the picnic sites and get handouts.

Here's my story. I have 2 guineas. Male, black speckled and white female. Had them about 2 yrs. or so. They have a old chicken house with roost and 3 nest boxes, and enclosed wired front pen. I added on the side with web wire and eventually added plastic wire over top, so they wouldn't fly out. I also have 1/4 acre fenced in back yard. When i let them out in the evening they evently go back at dark. Well this year i let the hen lay and sit on her eggs. She laid them inside house so i let her sit on them and out of 17 eggs 14 hatched. This morning went and looked and the male had some under him and she did too. Surprised me. So we'll see how it goes. Hopefully they will learn like their parents to stay in my back yard and go in at night. Have a good day.
