We first decided to add guinea hens to our flock last summer, and I wrote about some of the reasons we did so in our Post “First Line of Defense - Guinea Fowl”. One reason I didn’t list was unexpected for us, and it has turned out to be the most important one - they are very entertaining!

Back in May we added 8 new chicks to our flock, and just last week we hatched our own 6 guinea hen keets. It's a lot of work increasing the flock.
