Yes! Just what you’ve been waiting for! Pictures of baby guinea hens! Guinea hens are native to Africa, but Wikipedia says that their proper name is “Guineafowl.” I can vouch for the “fowl” part — they can be both loud & obnoxious (not to mention, just plain “fowl”).
These are the remaining two chicks from six live ones that the mothers let the Magpies ravage. After the Magpie massacre, one chick & a couple eggs remained. My wife put the eggs in with the chickens & one more guinea hen hatched, giving us the two in these pictures.
My wife has a thing for guinea hens & loves watching them. I suppose I, too, have a thing for guinea hens… but MY thing involves a shotgun (heh, heh).
Anyway’s… the chicks are cute for the first couple weeks… then they start growing quickly, get ugly, and STINK! (kinda’ like me, I suspect).
