Growing Up Guinea Fowl

[southwind00]

do hawks just grab them and fly off

Nope,.a full grown guinea would have to be eaten on the ground by a goshawk (old english for goose hawk) or possibly a red tail but the size diiference makes red tails unikely for anything but young guineas. As @Mixed flock enthusiast said, a feather pile some where is your best bet. As your guineas keep free ranging farther it gets way more problematic finding evidence. And on your other post about eggs, the same goes for their free ranging habits,harder to find. I have found like @R2elk said, you have to follow them as soon as they leave the coop. Good luck.

When asked.. "How do you like your eggs"? ...i reply "slow cooked for 28 days @99°F "

Here comes my second generation of Guineas ❤

Soaked in the thunderstorm. They all dashed somewhere .. In the overgrowth and under the tractor..then they ran to the barn.

Offspring of my guineas. Two are a week old and one is 24hrs old. I been watching them to make sure the newborn is not pecked on. They are getting along great.
