    Guineafowl way of handling threats

    Something I noticed about guineas over past 20 years is they almost never get killed by predators. I have lost the odd chicken here and there at night, and even lost female ducks at night. Never guineas though. Even if they slept outsside of their coop. I realize they come from africa in areas...

    did a rat really do that

    last summer, quail vanished, then big homing pigeons started to vanish. Now if anyone kept white homers they are much stronger larger than feral pigeons even. TIP TOP shape. TO take one and keep its powerful wings from taking it, its going to take a predator at least larger than itself or...

    silvers so friendly?

    My silvers are more friendly than chickens and so docile. This is common for their species? the goldens were always so scared and flighty.
