Biting Guinea

[The Red Rooster]

I know guinea's are wild unless you tame them as keets, but our guinea got aggressive after we sold some of the guinea's. Is it normal?

That one is female. Maybe she has a nest nearby?

He may be frustrated if you sold his mate (or mates), and also since some of the flock is now gone the whole pecking order is going to be re-established... some birds that move up to the Alpha position go a little over board. Being that it's breeding season hopefully he settles down once he secures his position in the pecking order. Until then... a hose is a simple little reminder of who's boss and that too much aggression is unacceptable
