Guinea Hybrids

Guinea x Chicken Hybrids, aka Guin-Hens

When confined together, chickens and guineas will interbreed on occasion, and sometimes the result is a fertile egg. Survival rate in these hybrids is higher if they are more like the guinea parent (in which case the incubation period is 25-26 days). There is a lower probability of survival for those which more closely resemble the chicken (and in that case incubation is usually 21-22 days).
