hey everyone! After seeing these forums everywhere and getting so many helpful questions answered I finally decided to join.. mostly because I needed some answers to my question about my guinea that flew into a darn tree tonight I’m new to the farm life.. living on a horse farm for almost a year and decided to get some chickens beginning of the year.. although our coop must have not been very critter proof ( we lost 6 chickens to coons and hawks.. :( ) we figured it out and now have 6 healthy hens, 4 guinea keets and 6 turkeys who live in a secure coop! Thanks for any warm welcomes in advance!!

:welcome I heard guineas were hard to get them to roost in the same spot they like to go in trees.

I’ve heard that too.. I’m just nervous it’ll get eaten by a coon or it won’t be able to find its way back. They’re pretty young only about 6 weeks old.. I was prepared for it to be hard to get them to roost but I was not expecting such a young one to fly into a 40 foot tree

Hi Jess! Good luck getting the guineas out of the trees.

Hopefully it survives the night and if you can catch it in the morning you could trim it’s wings so it can’t fly anymore.
