those are guinea fowl. lots of people keep them for breeding and raising on farms and such.

Yep. Domestic birds. Someone is missing their Guineas. Noisy as hell. Will remove ALL ticks from an area. Predators show up, you will know it.

If I remember right, those chickens lay blue eggs. Oops, never mind. I think they lay brown eggs.

 

[hiwall]

Winds, its the Robins that have the blue eggs!

 

[303tom]

Those birds make great "watchdogs" and a covey will alert you by making lotsa noise, I hear they are great eating too!

Guinea hens are bug eating machines. We had them in rural WV when i was growing up: So did some of the neighbors. Those birds would travel for a few miles: They roosted in trees, on top of haystacks or the tops of a buildings at night.

You are thinking of ameraucana chickens, that lay blue eggs. There are giant chickens that lay pink eggs. I am not a chicken person but a lot of my neighbors have chickens. From listening to their conversations and the love of fresh eggs I know more about chickens than I care to know.
