The Guinea Fowl 
We frequently have calls for infor¬ 
mation about the guinea fowl. Some peo¬ 
ple never saw one of these birds, but 
have heard about their good qualities 
and are anxious to learn. The Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture has now issued 
Farmers’ Bulletin and this give.? a 
good discussion of the guinea. 
The bird seems to he growing ’n favor 
as a substitute for game birds, soinewhat 
on tlie principle perhaps that varion.s fur¬ 
bearing animals are being projiagated 
since the scarcity of wild .anunals lias put 
up the price of fiii-s. ’J'lie higher-priced 
restaurants in the large cities now serve 
guinea as an expensive IiiAiiry. They are 
usually grown in small flocks, and they 
need a large range for best results. A 
picture of the Pearl guinea is shown 
below, and tliis is the most popular 
variety. 
The guineas differ from ordinary 
poultry in the fact that they frequently 
mate in pairs, yet one male may frequent- 
Pearl Guinea 
ly be mated successfully with three or 
four hems. Tliey are not heavy layers, 
producing during the season under best 
conditions from (>0 to 00 eg.gs. Tliey are a 
semi-wild bird and must have range in 
order to do well. They are noted for a 
tremendous noise or .scrciun wiiicli tliey 
emit wlieu frightened or excited, and 
sometimes kept because they give Avarn- 
ing of the aiiproiich of any poultry en¬ 
emy. The scream tliey let out in the 
morning, however, is not at all conducive 
to sleep. 
A very hirge nuinlier of the questions 
which come to us refer to the difficultj' 
in distinguishing the sex of the guinea. 
The picture given below is taken from 
the government hnlletin, and shows a 
male and female side by side. The male, 
which is on the left has, as Ave see, a 
larger and more erect helmet and Avattles 
than the female. The best distinction, 
A Pair of Guineas 
hoAvever, is found in the cry made by 
each bird. That made by the female 
resembles a constant repetition of the 
woi-d “buckAvheat, buckAvheat, buck¬ 
wheat.” The male lets out a one-syllable 
screech, quite different from the other. 
When excited it is said that both male 
and female give this one-syllable cry, Imt 
at no time does the male imitate this 
cry of “buckwheat.” A nuniber of peo¬ 
ple are going into the business of rais¬ 
ing guineas, and some of onr readers re¬ 
port considerable pi’ofit fi'om keeping 
them. It Avould probably he desirable to 
baA-e a number of these birds on every 
poultry farm, chiefly for tlie Avarning they 
give Avhen enemies conic near. 
Stranger: “What’s that man running 
so excitedly for?” Snbburbs: “Oh. that’s 
the city felloAV who has a plot of land 
out here. One of his potatoes has come 
up, and he’s going for a photographer.”
