Apparently these guinea are different than the ones you guys talk about

Sounds like biased observations.

These people lie.. there is nothing peaceful and harmonious about Guineas.

Flash....nothing better than kids ,& turkeys. Got a kick out of the SS story....that's so like them!
Anyone notice a new Chantix turkey commercial? They so amuse me! The turkey reminds me of Sweet Pea. I think it's the feather colors.

Ooh, ooh, ooooh! I just saw it!!! I’m in love. That’s the sweetest little turkey so far.

I looked at those vulturine guineas in some hatchery website or another. Even if I had the climate for them I’m not sure I’d be willing to spend that kind of cash on a pet bird... plus then you’ve got to feed them, too. I have dogs for that.

Wait....this guy spent time & money researching a Guinea fowl flock? And is surprised they have a social structure. Am I missing something? What's the difference between these birds & your average backyard fowls social structure? I missed something.

After my encounter with the two rogue guineas in our neighborhood...I've sworn off of them for life! I still have ambitions of eating one.

Cindy....the one thing that was pointed out was lack of poop! LOL! The first time I saw those commercials I was casually watching tv with some friends & blurted out that the bird looked like Sweet Pea.

Cold front heading our way tonight. Its supposed to be 19 Tuesday morning with a chance of snow flurries. Rare to get that cold here. Unheard of this time of year...

No, he spent time researching Vulturine guineas. His claims that there is no fighting among the members of the flock is BS.

Observing and seeing what you want to see rather than what is actually happening is the problem. If he had observed a large Helmeted Guinea flock, he would have seen the same things going on. In your case, observing 2 guinea fowl out of their element is not the same as watching the goings on of a contented flock.

You are welcome to come visit and observe my guineas but it would be better to do so during a warmer time of the year. It is currently -3°F with 2 5/8" of fresh white stuff covering everything.

I find it disgusting that the "Chantix turkey" looks more like a peafowl than a turkey. It doesn't even have a snood. There are other features that more resemble a peafowl.
