Thanks! They have gotten big! Still not fully matured, but all their baby feathers are gone now.
Went to buy some shrubs....

Today has been a warm 35F.
I let the guineas out while filling their food and water. So far all has been well. I even found a couple eggs
The cold hasn’t phased them yet, but winter has hardly begun....

The fowl are looking great, very pretty and congrats on the eggs!
Thanks!
Theses two are just a little smaller then large chicken eggs. Some of the first eggs they laid were half this size.
Yes! They actually taste like a better quality chicken egg. My kids love them.
I’m surprised they are so hardy. They are originally from Africa and their normal habitat would be savannas or semideserts.
Perhaps they have just been able to adjust over many generations being bred here in the colder regions?
We did build them a shelter inside the grain bin/coop. It’s inclosed with a cutout door for them to get in and out. Inside is a heat lamp. At night you’ll see them all huddled up inside together.
I’m not sure they would do very well without some sort of heat.
You could always put them in the oven, especially this time of year. That should be very cosy for them!

Haha, naw. I’m too fond of these guys.
Next year I’m getting a turkey and I don’t plan on wintering him over....
