My 60+ guineas eat game food. I know some offer laying pellets during spring, but I think they lay very well with out the layerfeed. When they are out free ranging I call them in with a wild bird seed mix. I shake the container & they get excited & come running. If I am keeping them penned for more than a day or so, I clip grass for them. They gobble up the fresh green grass. But they don't eat table scraps like chickens. My guineas won't even touch any veggie scraps I give them. Also I don't use near as much feed with grown guineas as I do grown chickens.

Hope you are enjoying your guineas!

Man, I go do homework after work, and y'all take off!

Time to play catchup...

Oh, and guineas freak me out. I have no idea why. Maybe it was the fact my gran told horror stories about guineas.

Dont be scared of guineas! They are fabulous. They will watch over your yard & let you know anything that happens. They also eat lots of bugs. Great birds. Full of character.

So sorry about your DH!

I have 6 grown Guineas, and three juveniles growing up; plus the 19 eggs in the 'bator which are ALL developing!

What on earth am I gonna do with 28 Guineas? Who cares, I'll figure it out when they hatch!

There is a lady on CL that sells BA hatching eggs, chicks, etc. Here name is Paula something. If you want I can try and find her email and send it to you. I bought two dozen hatching eggs from her and I had a pretty good hatch rate. I currently have 7, 5 females, 2 males. They're so cute and curious. I just love them. Plus, I've noticed that they aren't affected by the heat very much; whereas my other chickens are dropping like flys.

Langshans work well too as long as you don't mind feather legs!

It's getting lively around here. I will have to start checking in during the evenings.

I have had a headache for two days so I am hoping it will be gone today. Sure is
hard to function that way.
