I can see quite a few projects to be made with them.<BR/><BR/>I actually think the birds are endearing, Robin, but I felt they needed a full vetting before someone goes out there and gets a bunch. They are loud and proud, especially if things aren't going their way. But I will say that the guineas hatch out later (they're tiny and don't have much fuzz) than baby chicks. Baby guineas are called keets, incidentally. They're absolutely scared to death when they're little (and only marginally improve with age). Chicks, not so much; I had my first batch out and pecking (and rolling in) the dirt when they were barely 4 weeks old, and yes, they are a scream to sit and watch.<BR/><BR/>MT: Thanks! And look: a new word for you: keets.<BR/><BR/>Sara: Wow, forty of the buggers. Now that's some spread you must have, and some patient neighbors! And I would love to name our guineas but dang I can't tell them apart, so they're collectively "the loud ones."Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-68911310046983848322007-10-18T05:57:00.000-04:002007-10-18T05:57:00.000-04:00What a great post.

I love the way guinea fowl hang about in a group. Mine have layed loads of eggs this year but as you say you have to work to find them. Mine like to lay their eggs in the biggest patch of nettles!!!<BR/>Sara from farmingfriendsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-72518738698616882582007-10-12T20:35:00.000-04:002007-10-12T20:35:00.000-04:00Aw...Ignorant, but... aww.Aw...<BR/>Ignorant, but... aww.muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897348834741036033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-40063025581702942862007-10-12T08:27:00.000-04:002007-10-12T08:27:00.000-04:00Oh El, I am so glad you wrote this.

What you describe meshes with my memories. <BR/><BR/>So chickens and guinea hens at the same time, huh? Well, I should probably not plan to do much else in the spring but watch birds.<BR/><BR/>I hope you write more bird tales!<BR/><BR/>--Robin (Bumblebee)Robin (Bumblebee)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04516571306617946865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-11745442562180338852007-10-12T08:22:00.000-04:002007-10-12T08:22:00.000-04:00I enjoyed reading about your guineas.

Plus I think their feathers are beautiful. I have used some for decoration on various projects. <BR/><BR/>Lisa at GreenbowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
