My last post. I hope Grounder will live forever in my posts. Sunday 4/20/2025 Grounder fell asleep and never woke up. It been difficult with out him. His hen Monkey still comes inside at night but I will be working on something for her so she has a more natural guinea life with other guineas...
Grounder is still kicking ♡ . A few days back I changed his perch out. I used a wider board and covered it with reptile green felt stuff. His little foot looks swollen and he didn't seem very comfy on his old perch. I'm calling it their new "bed" and him and Monkey are loving it. The swelling...
Today I took Grounder and his hen, which we named mon coeur which is French for "my heart" and now affectionately known as Monkey outside to their enclosed coop, Jazzy's out ther too. I was outside for a while and when I came back in to clean their house coop from a night of pooping ..I found...
Here is a video of my flashlight trained guineas going to bed in my walkout basement, where I raise them as keets. This video is older and those birds are now part of the larger flock. Some night my guineas try to roost in the rafters of my horse barn. I shoe them down with a broom and use the...

Today Grounder was diagnosed with heart failure. He had an exam, x-rays and ultrasound to confirm. He has been started on 3 heart medications. I love my boy 💗💞
It's been awhile. Grounder is doing great. This is Jazzy and Grounders daytime coop. Grounder gets toted around in the carrier that's in front of the coop. It has been a long dry summer and downsized Jazzy's pool to save water.
Update on Grounder .. He went to see his doctor and he was a very good boy. But his wing is swollen, bruised, broken and lacerations that are already healing. We tried to wrap his wing but it took him only 2 seconds to get it off. His doctor said his wing should heal pretty fast and since he...
