Seeing your location as Somerset, I chuckled, wondering if you had "5 adults birds, unsexed" for sale.

Out walking our dog last night, as always, she ran ahead on the way home to get to the stream for a cooling drink ... but doubled back sharpish like she'd been seen-off! Imagine our surprise when we rounded the corner to find ... said 5 adult guinea fowl!!

No idea where they came from, but they ended up in 3 different locations when the scattered in fright ahead of ME (Bess is trained not to touch domestic fowl of any kind, so she wouldn't go near them!)

nicelooking...... after been given 25 eggs to hatch for a friend ....we have 4 live and healthy ones sharing a brood box with the solitary duckling we hatched..... was hoping that we'd have hatched considerably more Guinea fowl, but friend got them from someone who didnt know how old they were or anything...so think we are lucky to have gotten 4 healthy...

Um, yes, plus dutch bantams and a legbar cockerel. A few small gleanies aren't going to make any difference ....

I always feel *most* uncomfortable if we travel anywhere without an assortment of poultry

I can't sex them until the girls start saying 'Come-Back! Come-Back!'. Is there another way? I do know that male guinea fowls become aroused if you tickle the feather's on the back of their neck, though.

Does the sex of them matter? They form family groups in any case don't they? (Just wondering if I should be thinking abotu what sexes I have got...)
