I have 13 gunieas that I have raised with the intention to let them free range. I have several oak trees for them to hide in. They are currently in a shed with a fenced in outer cage, complete with tree growing out the middle. I have butted some steel roofing against the tree for now so no one has escaped. My idea is to take 4, 2 of the meaner ones, and two other ones... and let them out. I have a water spigot on the outside of the pen next to the inside spigot. I was going to put a feeder next to that. I am away during the week and the person that watches my place will not have time to chase gunieas.... so I was hoping that they would roost in the oak tree on the outside of the pen... since they were all raised since birth together... then when I come back in a week... if they are still there...and safe... I could remove the roof and allow the rest to learn to hop out and in? I am wondering if anyone thinks this might work? Next your thinking ... why would I let them go? I have 2.5 arces surrounded by old oaks... boulders... ticks.... and rattlesnakes.... I am hoping they will reproduce and stick around with the food and water supply. I have no close neighbors.... any thoughts on this??? Thanks Pinky
