I didn't scream, I just popped out of the door w/it. Tey couldn't see me at first, all they knew was some giant gray thing was coming and since it was windy today, it made snapping noises. Once they were out of reach they chewed me out, though.

Visitors here often comment on how quiet my guineas are.
Don't get me wrong, my guineas almost never shut up completely but their constant chatter is very low level and almost melodic.This is my experience too, especially now that it’s not breeding season, my guineas are very quiet - unless they see something that’s not right. Then it’s all alarms LOL

It wld appear that Google is agog- if I type in "guinea fowl purring" it pulls up guinea pigs. If i type in "guinea fowl cooing", it pulls up recipes!These are my favorite guinea noises, their constant little quiet chatter amongst themselves, sometimes it almost sounds as if they’re purring.

I'm now wondering if Nugget's "Bar-ee-ee" is what you guys are referring to. Except- he'd have to be one super-contented bird, as he was doing it making a dash for the coop in a down pour yesterday!
I think I'm going to settle with "he" until I personally see him laying eggs, basing my decision on the male guinea domination tactics. He's on the receiving end, but not shy abt reciprocating.
I caught Guinea today!!! Did what Patricia Comer suggested. Took days but Guinea is now save in the cat cage. I placed wind screens on the sides of the cage and added poles for roosting, a light, water and food, Plus a Mirror.
For days Guinea would come hang out and the door on the patio. Go in the cage and eat but not far in the cage. Now the real trick was so Guinea did not see me, you can see thought the screen.
According to the weather today is going to be the last good day for a while. Guinea went in the cage and was hanging out, would sit a little and such. Well I went out bear footed and crawled on the ground keeping lower than the patio. I had to because I tried one time before standing up and Guinea saw me and ran. I slowly worked my way to the patio from the corner of the house, felt like a cat kind of, I slowly made my way to the patio steps. Crawled up the steps, at that time my husband was coming up the farm lane and could see me, he said I looked crazy. I hugged the patio with a really low profile sneaking up to the door and pushed it shut...... I had screen on the door so Guinea could not see me coming that easily. Guinea ran all the way in the cage then, it is 4 by 8 feet.
I opened the bottom of the doors screen so Guinea can see out as it has been doing and left. I figured enough for now, let Guinea get settled. I will come visit later. But the whole thing was not as stressful on Guinea and me to catch Guinea this way. I now have to worry about the upcoming weather and getting some better sides on the cage. But I do not have to worry about Guinea getting eaten and not having shelter. I am so happy.
I will start checking with the farmers around us and see if any have Guinea's so I can find Guinea a life long home.
Guinea has a new home now with other Guinea's.Now whatcha gonna do with it?
