When starting a flock of guinea fowls do you buy equal of males and females? |

I have 2 male per 1 female and that works excellent for fertility |

Hi I am also thinking of starting a flock. I am not breeding what would be the idea number so they stay on my property ( my neighbours have a small flock ) Would they just join the neighbours flock? Should I have 1 boy to 1 girl? How many is a good number to roam an 11 acre property? Thanks |

Does it matter what colour they are to start off with 2 males to 1 female? |

it made no difference to mine I started with the pearl and lavender and started with 2 or 3 males to 1 and they were fine |
