French Guineas

Yep...its a pearl or pearl pied guinea...hard to see its face..is it almost white?

 

[sunket77]

uhoh I don't know anything about guinies! It's yellow and brown ... Do they get along with chickens? lay eggs? I would love to know more about them. I maybe should return it and exchange it for another chicken? I am all about variety though. Do guinies come st. run only or can this be a hen? yikes!

Could be anything if they had it labeled as a chicken... male, female, guinea, quail, pheasant. I would take it back and ask for an exchange, it's obviously not what you wanted.

Agree....Name it Chicken!!!

I hear they are GREAT at eating bugs...even better than chickens. I think they're a little more wild than chickens, but can be kept with them. I don't know anything about them personally, just what I've read.
