Guinea Fowls

[LadyWings]

I have 5 Guinea fowls 3 males and 2 females. Two males are fighting for dominant with one female. We just separate the two for a week! We tried to put them together and they were ok. Within couple minutes the two males that fights one start attacking really bad with the other one. Now we put 1 male outside in a huge cage that we can wheel back and fort. We have two sections on where we can separate them at night. Very frustrating since they don't get along fine. We put them outside on the grass everyday, two females inside on a wheel cage and male while two males outside. Males never leave as long as the females are inside. We let one female out that went out of rage since they want to go far away. So we decide to just put the female on a cage wheel. So I guess the males will never get along at all once they fight for dominant!

You don't have enough guineas for proper flock dynamics. Your two combatants are pretty equally matched and will continue to fight until one wins or the other gives up or dies.

The more you interfere the longer it is going to take to settle their differences. You can't force them get along. Also sounds like they need more room. Guineas needs lots of "personal space".

You may want to rehome one of the two fighters, get a lot more guineas and or greatly expand their area.

Oh they had a huge space in our backyard we let the two boys out in our yard but never left where the others are. We knew which one is bad. Lol
We got them were they 3 days old and we didn't know how many boys of females we got until they were big enough to know which is which!
So we separate them two fighters. But we can't let the 3rd male be the other two boys. They picked on him. So one male sleep by himself at night on the perch facing were the little chicks with see through wire doors are, and we're glad he get along fine with them at least! Thank You for the response!
