It's absolutely ridiculous. lol The barn and the three breeding pens there are probably 200 ft. away from the house, fenced back yard, and the original chicken pen where the guineas, geese, ducks, and some young chickens are growing out. But that doesn't stop him. He makes a beeline for the barn and if one of the gates is open to let the Orps out for a bit he drives them all back into the pen, into the barn, and up on the concrete slab. By then the guinea hens have wandered off so he'll come running out looking for them. The original male was an absolute terror. When they original quad (one male and three females) were in the barn with the BBS Orpingtons and one random Lavender he completely scalped the Lavender hen. I thought he'd killed her. I moved them into the pen with the geese that night and they've gotten along fabulously. I don't have any issues with them. We all know how chicken math is, so as I had to shuffle some birds around as some cockerels came of age an extra Silver-laced Orpington rooster and some generic layers got moved over into the pen with the guineas and geese. They were fine for weeks and then the male started picking on the Orpington rooster. I only kept him for sentimental reasons, and when I was out there and the rooster streaked by with a guinea holding onto him like it was a rodeo I could feel the earth shift when I accessed some unknown mental ability and with my bare hands managed to snatch him up in one try. I'm pretty sure telekinesis was involved. Haha I kind of blacked out for a second I was so annoyed. Needless to say he went to live with a flock of guineas at a friend's. Fast forward to now and out of all the keets I kept back I ended up with Lavender male and three Lavender hens, two Pearls, and one Royal Purple. I added two very young Whites to the mix and I think they are a pair. Now the young male has taken to tormenting all the chickens too. So to spare him from the crazy human snatching him up and threatening to drown him in the geese pools, I'm going to build them their own area.
