UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH OUR GROWING GUINEA FOWL

My how you have changed!

Back when we first got our Guinea Fowl keets, they were very tiny and cute. In some ways, they almost looked like a cross between a chick and a quail. We knew that it would not last, but enjoyed it while it did.

With the help of Hive account@vceleier and Hive account@matthewtii, we had picked up some for our homestead. Though the lady give not give us the names of the kinds of Guinea Fowl that we bought from her, only that they were Guinea Fowl. I think that some are "Pearl Grey" and others "Lavender," but I could be mistaken. Here is a close up shot of each type of keet.

"Pearl Grey?"

"Lavender?"

JUST LOOK AT THEM NOW!

"Pearl Grey?"

"Lavender?"

Yes, they certainly have changed, but we knew that it would be coming. I must admit, they certainly do look different and interesting, almost like some sort of cross between a Vulture and a Turkey.

GROWING AND ALREADY HARD AT WORK

Although we didn't move them down to our land yet, they are already hard at work. We still give them food that we purchase, but they eat a lot of plants and bugs out in the chicken yard. Thankfully, they get along well with everyone else, since the Chickens, Muscovy Ducks, and Guinea Fowl all share the same area. Sometimes we let some rabbits hop around in there too.

I've seen that some other homesteaders on steemit also have Guinea Fowl, and even saw the ones that Hive account@mericanhomestead has in person. For the rest of you, have you ever met these birds in real life? What do you think about their interesting faces?
