Well, I finally bit the bullet and let the guineas out with the chickens. I think it helped having the chickens out to keep the guineas around. They did great and are all now back in the coop resting from their busy day! When I first let them out, they all (chicks and guineas) all darted for the corn field. I was a little worried that the guineas would get lost in there, but what do I know! They knew exactly where home was. They spent about 2.5hrs free ranging today and even came to the pen/coop when I called them! Anyways, here are some pictures of them "exploring" the yard.


Playing on the scrap wood that needs to be burnt once the "No Burn Ban" is lifted in our area.


Mystery color in the back. Im really liking her color. So much different than the others.

Getting their grit!















Just curious, I have noticed with the guineas that all but my Pearls have solid yellow legs and feet. The pearl greys have a mixture of yellow and brown on their feet. Sorta like a pied look on their legs and feet. Is this common?
 
Congrats on a successful first day, and great pics!

In these pics, your Mystery Girl looks like a couple of my Blondes that are close to her age and still maturing...

Thanks! They really enjoyed being out with the chickens. I also got to witness the male pearl grey "challenge" the others. He raised his wings like a lady bug and charged at them. Pretty interesting behavior.

Ive been looking at different color charts recently and was leaning towards either a blonde or buff. Either way, she is my favorite ;)
