Great idea watchdogps, I didn't even think of craigs list for lost and found. I only have a few people around me and mostly farmers, so I put the word out that I lost them. They weren't too happy to hear there were birds out in there crops. I reasured them that they will not notice any crop damage from them, I haven't had them damage anything in my yard and they ate the bugs mostly.
9farmgirl I found the one guinea died by the creek north of my house and my neighbor north of me is the ones who found one, so he must have crossed the creek to get to them. I walked the creek line and in the corn field calling them in. I didn't hear them or see them in the trees. The farmers are cutting the wheat fields now, which is down aways but I thought I would go down and see if I could see them around there. I do have some of their babies, so I put them into a cage and walked around with them thinking they may hear them and come running, but nope.
damselfish, Thank you I hope so. I just feel awful. They depended on me to keep them safe I feel I failed. I mean I live in the country and there is peditors every where and I've lost animals to them here and there and I know it happens. This time with the storm I just picture them wandering around lost and scared. I raised them from babies and they were my first ones and I had wanted them for a long time and bought them at a day old. I have chickens, turkeys, peacocks and my guineas and this is the first time anything took off and they don't go far they always come back to roost or for feeding time. They see me and run towards me to eat.
I am going to keep looking and hopefully they will come home. Even if someone calls me that they found them I don't know how to catch them. Chickens and turkeys are easy to catch, but guineas are tricky little things. They can fly pretty good. I can hand feed my chickens and turkeys, they come right up to me and I can pick them up, guineas no way. I have started letting my hens hatch them out, so I will see if that helps.
