Tame those guinea fowl
Moussa Gueme Bournebe, of the Direction des Pêches et de l Aquaculture, BP 447, N djamena, Chad tells of his eleven years experience as a raiser of hooded guinea fowl. 'They are easy to domesticate. You just need to collect their eggs from anywhere, and get local hens to sit on them instead of on their own eggs. The chick guinea fowl will hatch after between 28 and 30 days, and follow their mothers . Every evening, you need to catch them at the same time and put them in the hen house for the night. Do this for two months, and you ll find that the fowl will no longer want to fly off into the trees to sleep.'
