Lone Guinea

[hattie13]

Hi everyone, sadly we lost our five year old rooster this morning. Even more sadly, he left behind his best friend, a lone guinea hen. She is lost without him and spent much of the day crying out for him. I am hesitant to try to rehome her as we really adore her (more of a pet than just a bird) and people here place very little value on guineas. I’m wondering if she can live (happily) as a flock of one? Is there anything that we can do to make her happy during this transition period?

Guineas are flock birds. Either rehome her to where she can be with other guineas or get more guineas yourself.

Can you add a new rooster or maybe find her a new friend?

Oh that’s so sad! Let us know how it goes!

Are more birds an option? If not, then I do agree finding her a new flock to join would be what’s best for her.
