From keets to adults in 3 months, I sure have learned a lot about raising a flock of Guinea Fowl! What started out only as a means to reduce our tick and insect population has turned into an interesting adventure, similar to riding a roller coaster ride. There have been ups (I have trained them to return to the coop at the sound of a cow bell) and downs (an injured one die after nursing it for 10 days), a few bumps along the way (making new baby perches EVERY week because they outgrow them), times when my stomach bottomed out (finding the door to the run open in the morning with no birds inside), and times when I've let out a deep sigh (locating the flock just chillin' after the coop was empty). They provide constant entertainment, many laughs, a number of great photo ops, a reason to post on Facebook and have been a source of conversation and the beginning of new friendships.
