Hello,
I have 7 young Quineas 3 males and 4 females.
The males are biting each othe running laps around 2 acres (from coops to house to a pair of horse feild)
When they stop they twist their necks around each others ,box with their feet,nip each others head. Last but not least jumping on each others backs.
At first I thought ok they are starting to get ready to lay and he's trying to mate her.
Wrong! all are male while the females walk around feeding grass now and then when they stopped running laps, walk by and stand by them looking at them like they are crazy then walk away kinda like shaking their heads.
So whats up?
Are the hens getting close and they don't know what to do with them selves?
Fighting to see who is the rooster will be?
Or just plain CRAZY Guineas?
Please note these are my first ones ever I hached them here 2010.
So I'm still kinda new to them.
Thanks
