nasty guinea cock

[2manycrittrz]

i have a single guinea cock and several pet chickens... he chases the chickens around sometimes... i didn't think he could/would hurt them, but one of the young ones from this year got into the main pen by mistake and he really went after her... pulled out feathers! i've kept him around because i figured he'd terrorize any raccoons that wandered by but i'm wondering if it's time to get rid of him?

oh mine do that to. but when my roos start fighting (and i have a lot of roos) my guineas break it up fast. they won't tolerate any crap from the chooks lol

yep its normal both my males do it and they both will break up the roosters fighting.

as for raccoons if you had about 8 of them they can keep most critters away during the day but 1 isnt much of a match for anything but feral cats (mine chase cats solo)

so i would get like 3 more males and 4 females to add then they would really chase stuff
