I posted this in my flock group (a group for people with back yard birds). But posting it here too. I candles my Guinea eggs last night out of 11 only one wasn’t fertile and saw movement from in the other 11. Looks like I will have guinea keets. Guineas are great for a food forest and garden. They are to control pest but don’t scratch as bad as chickens and don’t eat everything in the garden. They are great for ticks.
And they do not make as much noise or crow like chook roosters.
How are they in cold weather? It can get down to -10 here not including the wind. Would they survive, or would they need shelter?
For -10 they will need shelter. Where I’m they are good without

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
