Raising Guinea Fowl 101

[pattyhen]

Duluthralphie so you say you've never had a guinea that wasn't deathly afraid of you. That is your problem right there. You've never had a guinea sit on your lap and enjoy being petted and having their neck scratched. You've never sit outside in your glider and have one guinea in your lap and the other one perched on the top of the glider waiting for her turn. You have never met the surburban guinea before then I guess. Thats sad because there is another side to the guineas you have never experienced.

You have me all wrong...


I have never had a Guinea I am not deathly afraid of...


I would never put a Guinea on my lap. I would be afraid of losing my genitalia. They cannot be trusted.

I have Speckled Sussex that sit in my lap and wait their turn to be held. I also have JJ and Ethel (Turkeys) that want to be held. Holding is an award for good behavior. If I held a Guinea it would be rewarding their bad behavior.


When I let the birds out this morning, the Guineas were upset. I suppose at me, but they did not attack me.. They were just vocal about their being in the coop, However, they were short tempered.

Sven (my EE rooster) came running out of the coop with 2 guineas on his tail literally. They each had a feather and ran him out the door. Sven will miss those feathers I am sure. I asked Sven what he did wrong but he would not say.

I have never even seen a suburban Guinea let alone meet one. I never knew they existed until I joined this thread. I always remember what my 3rd grade teacher told me 60 years ago.:


Believe none of what you hear, none of what you read, and little that you see, question it all. I question the existence of "good" guineas.

Do you want a picture of the guineas sitting on my lap? I have good guineas and I don't intend on eatting them. I know this is going to give you a big laugh I can't even eat my chicken or duck eggs. I boil them and feed them back to the chickens, ducks and guineas.

I have one Guinea hen doing life without parole. I have thought about making her a dinner guest.

Do you buy eggs to eat??

 

[pattyhen]

If you make her a dinner guest make sure you have nice comfortable chair that she can perch on. Yes I buy store bought eggs. I know the factory farms are discusting. I just can't eat one of their future babies. I've had chickens 11 years and I'm not going to change my mind.

 

[duluthralphie]

Whether you eat them or the chickens do they are not your future chickens......


An egg is a chickens ovulation. Every time a human ovulates a baby is not born. You are simply eating bodily waste when you eat a chicken egg. ( I hope that is not too disgusting)....


I am aware of the inability to use logic and changing a person mind, I have been married to the WWD for 43 years. I have yet to change her mind on anything....

 

[pattyhen]

Well thank you for pointing out your logic and I understand your wifes inability to change her mind. You must be married to an angel.
