Yes, the brilliant guineas.
The JUMBO guineas are TERRIFIED of the bantam Cochins. Literally. They run screaming in fear if they see one. I suppose a fuzzy bouncing marshmellow may be threatening in some worlds. Wait till they see the new Silkies, hehehehehehe
These however are the same geniuses who go sit in the middle of the street going b-Deep b-Deep b-Deep. Car comes down the road, b-Deep b-Deep b-Deep. Nope, will not move for the car. You know, big, moving thing that will make a guinea pancake if they don't clear under it. That's a trick of both the standards and the jumbos.
However, if a person gets out of said car - EEEEPPPPPPP, scary evil bad!!!! Scream the terrified scream and run back to the yard where you are SUPPOSED to stay. Now, said guineas, the worst of the street sitters are the two who like to cuddle up to and purr for people.
The neighbor on the other side also has guineas, however his do not get to free range as they are rather prone to seeing what happens if they sit in the street. Only the street they like to go see about sitting in is the highway that has large semis going 65 mph down it, not the hilly scary gravel road that people inch down at 20 mph.
They demolish the bug population, which makes them worth the potential lack of brains and the racket. Plus, as weird as they may be, they are sure smarter than the EEs we started with. Those birds were dumber than rocks and that's an insult to the rock.
Plus, yeah, the adorable factor. They are adorable as keets. I even think they are cute as adults. Cute enough I could just scoop 'em up and kiss them. But then they'd run off screaming the danger alert.
