Guinea birds !!!......

I have forever adored taking care of chickens + the guinea birds ! I eat only the eggs of my farm chickens and the guinea birds.....

Gathering eggs of the chicken and guinea birds is often very exciting to find in the chicken hutches / coops ! Fresh farm eggs of these birds are what I prefer cooking with and eating........they have the prettiest yellow egg yolk of all eggs because they are FRESH from the farm ! These go great into those cake mixes !!! More flavorful. I know this is TRUTH !!!

The guinea birds are ONLY for fresh eggs ! NO EATING the Guineas !!! JUST the eggs !!! They are wonderful talkers, they enjoy cleaning up your backyard free of grasshoppers, and all insects........IF no chicken scratch they will eat insects....

I absolutely ADORE the guinea birds pretty white + black polka dots, and feather coloring ! They chatter a lot !!! Nice to see graze on the farm, nice to keep up a clean chicken coop / hutch ALWAYS !!! Pen up at night interior the coops / hutches......

The guinea birds will walk right into the driveway and ANY road and not pay attention !!! Yikes guinea birds, pay attention DANGEROUS for you ! I sadly see them run over in the road by vehicles, so best to try and keep them somewhere way behind your backyard AWAY from the vehicles / roads.....

Guinea birds are same as chickens ! They need water, food, shelter, warmth, safety !!! Nice chicken scratch in bags only from feed stores safer + cleaner !!! But only from a brand, locally I have heard about people selling home made chicken scratch ! Icky, nasty, could be poison, so ONLY buy chicken scratch from known feed stores, PLENTY ! Brands and brands, clean, safe..........

Guinea birds need sunlight and breezes from the winds, and can overheat if not adequate shading ! Oh no ! So keep ALL birds and other farm land animals, well watered, PLENTY shading, feed, bedding if interior a pen / fencing.

Gathering guinea or chicken eggs remember to check daily, gather as soon as you find them, hold up to light and see if any baby chicks in the eggs first before taking into home to wash, clean, place in refrigerator..........IF chicks or blood spots in fresh eggs ??? Discard throw outdoors !

Be sanitary, clean, wash, look through ALL eggs you gather fresh from farm before cracking them open and using, look for blood spots, nasty but fresh eggs are best ! Remove blood spots with spoon, if you can't remove the blood spots from the fresh eggs ??? Discard, use the next egg......


Keep chickens and guinea birds separate I hear they don't get along well.......oh no........

Enjoy the guinea bird eggs ! Yum !

LOVE, Julie!!!
