Trained my guineas to come when I whistle the tune - "This Old Man" because they know they will get a mealworm treat. They can be acres away in the woods and come running back when they hear me whistling. That is as tame as they are. Can not touch them but will get quite close to me.

Is the starter produced by Purina? I purchase all my feed at TSC and make sure it is not produced by PurIna.

In the first picture, I set up these eggs in the house exactly how I found them positioned in the nest box. These are the tri-colored eggs that one of my hen's is laying.

Illegal to kill snakes in my state - even if they are threatening. Per a conservation officer who caught a person killing a copperhead that was threatening. Got fined. Don't say it too loudly until you know the law in your state.

I don't find guineas very trainable.

They have a ways to go before they are even mature.

How old are they? Mine did not look like they were full grown until they were about 6 months, even though they are mature around 4 months. Some were still smaller than others but they caught up.

Yes. I have had guineas for many years. Also incubated and brooded them myself. I have not had the problems you have described. Mine have disappeared mostly from predators - foxes, coyotes, hawks, owls etc. I also have been in animal rescue which is beside the point.

Give them back to the parents. You took them so they don't die but appears they may because of your actions.

I have one that looks exactly like that. I call him Cotton (my daughter named). He is the prettiest one I have. I figure it is just a mixture of multiple genes from different colored guineas.

They are good watch dogs. 😊👍

If you raise them with the chickens, they will think the chickens are guineas and guineas are lot rougher on a chicken than they can handle - feather pulling and stress on the chicken. Mine were raised separate and they could see chickens while they were being raised but that was it. Now that...

When the guineas alarm call, my Great Pyrenees and Boxer/German Shepherd come to join in on the threat. We had a cottonmouth down by the creek years ago and the guineas just hollered at it until it moved into the water and preceded to stand on the edge for another 15 minutes telling it to stay...

Mine start hollering at snakes and follow, keeping up their noice until they are quite far away. We have copperheads around. And if they miss some, we have opossums who love to feast on snakes.

Can she see correctly? I have one of my young girls that maybe can see just shadows of things and does not fly or perch. I have another young girl that is totally blind and has learned how to listen for the others free-ranging.

Egg hunt all Summer - know that action. 😄

Make sure to make it big enough that will hold them for an extended period of time. R2elk?

All the suggested guidelines are there - social distancing, face masks - which is totally ridiculous since I watched people yesterday touching their faces more adjusting the masks than a normal person touches their face. Then they take them down on their neck when they get to their vehicles and...

We are not in lockdown in our county. The governor gave a stay at home order but the county commissioner counter manded (which he has the power to do - learned it in Civics class many years ago) for our county since there is approximately 20 people in the county that tested positive
