I am! I’m in Oklahoma.

My original Guinea cock would do that too. His little brain would catch on that he was not challenging a Guinea and he would kind of drift off and then stand there looking confused… Unlike my roosters, who seem to enjoy life on the edge, my Guinea cocks have not ever attacked me. Once we...

Yeah, their spurs can be pretty wicked... I try to keep them blunt but I’m past due on clipping them. One roo in particular has one (I don’t know how he lost the other) smallish but very sharp looking spur. He dances with me most mornings, and I keep thinking about how I need to blunt that spur...

There are a few threads here detailing human aggression, like: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/male-guinea-attacked-my-two-year-old.1259066/ https://www.backyardchickens.com/posts/15203299 In the second thread, two posters describe human aggressive guineas that sound similar to...

Yes, that’s the cock’s challenge pose! If he’s been doing that to you plus sneaking behind you, then those are really pretty rooster like behaviors. Roosters that are afraid of people will sneak up and attack from behind because they are too scared to directly challenge. That’s one reason that I...

Well, there are different philosophies about schooling male poultry... Some try to be more dominant and challenge them back. It seems to work for some people, but it hasn’t worked for me as I think I am just egging them on. Maybe a spray bottle of water would work? No challenged guinea reacts by...

I’m sorry Sydney! I know these guys are your babies! Don’t freak just yet! I recently had to have a little talking to with my head bachelor pad rooster who ran out of his coop when I opened the door and he acted like he was about to attack me with his dagger spur that I need to trim... At least...

We advertise keets on Craigslist and have tried hatching eggs, but it just doesn’t seem to get the same traffic that FB Marketplace gets...

Our hatching eggs were selling like hot cakes last year, but that was using FB Marketplace. Now I’ve been banned for selling animal products (table and hatching eggs) and am trying to figure out where to advertise!

That’s quite the image!!!! :lau

Since I posted, I’ve been locking Violet and about five of her friends in the coop in the day, only letting them out in the afternoon. They aren’t happy about it, but I keep telling myself that it’s better than getting hit by a car... As far as I can tell, this is keeping them all on property...

What colors would you like to add? I was eyeing hatching eggs from the guinea farm, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to add guineas this year...

Ooooh, pretty babies!!! Will there be babies this year?

Our grass is still wondering if it should show itself, but it’s warm, so our guineas have decided that Spring is Here!!! I was unpleasantly made aware of this fact yesterday. First, I heard a single guinea hen buckwheating in the distance. I went to investigate and found Violet “trapped” behind...
