What insects do guinea fowl eat?

In Northeast Texas, Coyote and Bobcats are the main predators of our Guinea. A local farmer has watched his guinea's fly off their perch in a big tree , only to be attacked and carried off by coyote .... which were on the ground, watching and waiting for them. There were 2 coyotes in our east pasture stalking our guinea around 7:30AM, this past summer and in broad daylight. We also have bobcats (around here they are called creek cats) which will carry them off. I think it is safe to say that ANY carnivorous predator, given half a chance, will eat guinea.

Their main predators live in Africa, some are a caracal and baboons and more!!

Can vulterine guinea fowl and regular guinea fowl live together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. I used to own both. Never had any problems. They were in quite a large pen. I'm not sure how they'd do in enclosed spaces. But chickens don't even do well with other chickens in enclosed spaces. They'll start picking at each other. So, as long as you've got adequate space, you should be fine keeping a rooster and a male guinea fowl together. (Although we always had hens and guinea hens as well, not sure if it'd make a difference if you just had the males alone without any females.)

Can male guinea fowl mare with a chicken hen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you need a male chicken (cock or cockerel) to have chicks with your female chickens (hen).

However, you do not need a cockerel to produce eggs, as a hen will produce these nearly every day!

Does a guinea fowl have a penis?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mammals are animals that are different from the others because mammals give milk to their young. Humans, cats, dogs, horses, deer and dolphins are all mammals tha have nipples from which milk is delivered to the young.

Birds, and specifically roosters, do not give milk and therefore have no need of nipples. However, you might find it interesting that chickens do have bellybuttons.

What does a guinea hen look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

guini pigthey look a bit like big rats with more fur and not a long tale . haha . that's funny but they do. AnswerThe person above me could not be more wrong. (Didn't even spell Guinea Pig right!) Some can get quite big but some can stay smaller. They are in the hedgehog family...funny, huh? Scientists have proved they are NOT in the hamster family. But they look somewhat alike I suppose. If you would like to see pictures of Piggies, just surf the web, or you could look here.

(warning! The 4th picture is a bunch of cooked Guinea Pigs! >_< Sorry!) But the rest are pretty cute and normal! They actually look a lot like rabbits/bunnies without the long ears and feet. They also do not have a puffy cotton-ball tail! (Yeah, I own one.)

If you wanted to see one live, you could visit a petstore. They have them at almost every PetsMart.

It is made in such a way that it fits the main parts of the lock that are needed to be opened, for example a master key at a school for lockers is quite simple usually, whereas individual locker keys are only able to open specific locks.

What is a Group of guinea fowl called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By purely observing their behaviour in my back garden (I live in a nature reserve) I would call them an "ARMY" of guinea fowl. The other day a peacock chased a fowl and since the next day their flock number more than doubled. I guess they called in the army for protection.

The peacock has not been sighted or heard since.
