Ronny:
I've raised 2 to 3 dozen guineas 15 or so years ago and then started
back up with a few this year. So I like guineas;but I can't really
answer your question as I'm still learning myself. However,you can look
down near the bottom of my sig and find two links to guinea/poultry
forums. I post some on the first one now and then and have posted some
on the second one. Both discussion groups/forums have a lot of people
posting on them who know a lot more about guineas than I do. :-) And I
know you would be welcomed too to asked questions about your guineas on
those groups.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.
