aÂ·mendÂ·ment. n. 1. The act of changing for the better; improvement: Society may sometimes show signs of repentance and amendment (George G. Coulton). 2.
While several species are relatively well known, the plumed guineafowl and the two members of the genus Agelastes remain relatively poorly known. These large birds measure from 40â71 cm (16â28 inches) in length, and weigh 700â1600 grams or 1.5-3.5 pounds.
1 Even though guinea fowl and chickens have similar hatching requirements, do not incubate eggs of each species together. 2  Chickens hatch in 21 days; guinea fowl take 28 days. 3  The humidity and ventilation changes needed for your chickens to hatch can cause mortality for the unhatched guinea fowl eggs.
