New Guinea hen ownerld

[Zullo]

I am definitely new to this whole backyard farm animal life. Thanks to backyard chickens advice I managed to get my guinea fowl and raise them where they return to their coop at night and are healthy. However, they are never far from me. Wherever I am in our yard if they hear my voice they find me. They sit at the front door and peck on the glass for me. Is this common behavior? They are now 5 months old. Thanks everyone.

I have also noticed my guineas are very curious, when we are outside for any length of time they come over to see what we are doing. If its boaring, they wander off.
Last week one of my neighbors came to pick up 3 dozen eggs and the guineas made it impossible for us to talk after awhile as they saw his pitbull in the cab of his truck and did not like the looks of him.
They are funny birds, i love them!
Welcome to the backyard!

Welcome to BYC. As young birds they imprinted on you. They will gain their independence - hopefully not too much as Guinea fowl can be wanderers.
