Gunea hens

[Mhsummers]

So about 2 months ago 2 of my guneas went missing. I have a lot of wild turkeys that hang out around my house all year round. A few days ago I noticed that one of the groups of turkeys my gunea hen is now living with. Is this normal for gunea hens to do this? I was thinking that maybe one of my guneas died and that one just decided to hang with the turkeys. I have tried to research this and can’t find anything on this. If anyone has any information please respond. Thank you!!!

Guineas will very easily form bonds with turkeys.

That is hilarious. I mean, sorry for your [sort of] loss, but this is a new one on me.

I could t believe it when I saw it. I have asked so many people about it and they laugh and joke well your gunea is now a turkey. Turkey hunting just opened in my area and I am super worried! So for the last couple days it’s been hanging out in my far back field all day. I tried researching this on the internet and found nothing.

Last year a member started a thread here about how her guinea hen came home with a wild turkey poult along with the keets she had hatched.

I have tried to get her to come back using the special treats I give my chickens and when I call. But she won’t come close to the house. She will look but they stay a decent distance away.
