GuinHens

Guineafowl are known to mate with and produce offspring from matings with chickens. These offspring are almost always sterile and are called "Guinhens or Guin-Hens"

The matings are usually from a male chicken and a female guinea. The hatch rate is usually very low and the offspring are often weak and have trouble surviving.
