White Guineas

[jblovel]

I am hatching out several white guineas this summer and they appear to be less hardy than lavenders or peals. What have others experienced?

My expierence is that all my white, pied, and Grey all were taken by preditors and only the pearl survives in my group.
Not because they were less hardy, but because they were more visible targets.

I have Buff Dundottes that might as well be whites. I also have LGDs though, so the guineas are pretty safe.

Yes, I have 3 guardian dogs too. but the guineas range far out. They even go accrost the road to the neighbors yard in search for grasshoppers, as you can no longer find a grasshopper in my place!
I free range my flocks.
