Oh for pity sakes....it's always something around here.....Thought I lost the only guinea I had left...the flock of almost 3 dozen hens and 2 guinea has been decimated over the last year, starting with the coyote attacks.....anyway down to 7 hens, 3 roosters (2 bantams) and 1 guinea......well a couple of nights ago I went out at dark to shut the coop, peeked in at couldn't see the guinea (they are bigger and usually stand out, even in the dusk).....When I opened the coop the next morning he (and I say HE because from what we've seen of others' guineas we thought it was a male) wasn't in the coop. I hadn't heard he sqwacking, so I figured something got him (altho' I wasn't sure how as they are in an enclosure with 6 ft chain link), or he crawled under the coop and died. I've recenly had knee surgery and can't get down on my hands and knees to look under the coop.
Making a long story short.......the neighbor came over today, got down on his hands and knees to look under the coop and out the other side pops the sqwacking guinea HEN...as she's sitting on a clutch of about a dozen, what I believe to be, guinea eggs.............WOW....now what to expect????
