Yesterday I successfully made nettle soup for myself, and was surprised at the yummy taste. It made me think up 2 questions-
  • Can Guineas eat nettles?
  • Can they get stung by them?
 
I have given mine young nettle leaves, they ate them and didn't seem to be stung (I also wasn't when I picked them) but they prefer cleavers
 
Nettles are a definite NO, never fresh nettles

If it stings you it will sting them.....

I have heard in the past dried nettles in the same way there is dried dandelion. But NEVER fresh.
