Granny's gone and done it again

Ah, she's heating up her coffee. I had guineas once too. I also had horses. When we finally butchered those birds, I saw where all my horses' sweet feed had been going! Those birds had been gobbling it up! And I had chickens too, but I don't think the guineas ever roosted with them. They slept in trees.

they did ok with the chickens til they wanted to breed then the male got a little picky who was in his area. I got them their own place and they were doing great. A neighbor had them and all of his came here to live thru the winter then come spring all mine followed his home. Never seen them again after that.

Sounds like I would need to keep them fenced in...my neighbors wouldn't appreciate guineas.

Their relationship with chickens is a problem for sure. I would love to have a few females though...thanks for the info.

I remember guineas at my grandmother's place. They weren't hers. The neighbors' would come over. They were noisy.

You would need to keep them caged. Covered over the top. They fly. Like wild turkeys fly.

Very noisy! People say they make good watchdogs but I disagree. They are so noisy after a while you just tune them out. Or try to!

How about clipping wings? Does that help at all?

I know a couple people that was able to tame them but thats not the norm. They are wild and hard to tend to and I dont recommend them.

I am making lots of typos so that's my signal to sign off. See y'all mañana! Good night, y'all!

I don't know about the wing clipping.

Kinda like quail…gotcha

I should probably start planning goat breedings, BEFORE I think about adding more birds
