SAB Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Does anyone know if they can live with chickens? Also, are their eggs OK to eat. They look so pretty that I am tempted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yes they can live with chickens. At the farm where we stayed at Easter...they cuddled up at night in the chicken house, except for one night when they roosted in the tree. But my sisters guinea fowl fre range with her chickens everyday with no problems at all! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'm not sure that you would get one in an Eglu though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 From what I have heard, guinea fowl are very very noisy - they are often mentioned in the same breath as cockerels, as things to get if your irritating neighbours think chickens are noisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They are!!....and the noise they make is a horrible grating sound. We once went camping and the owner of the site had some guinea fowl. They weren't popular with the campers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks for warning about the noise! We have very tolerant neighbours, but probably best not to stretch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
