Guineas are vicious, ungrateful little <expletive deleted>s. Something attacked my guineas two days ago and I found a pile of feathers and two fewer guineas than I had the night before. The remaining ones have wisely started going into the chicken coop with the young cockerels at night. Well, today one of the missing guineas turned up limping but alive. I caught it at sundown and brought it in to examine it. It had no damage to the legs which surprised me. I found two small puncture wounds, one under each wing and put neosporin on them. Then I turned it over and was SHOCKED to see that something had managed to take a huge bite out of its back, but leave most of its feathers intact so that I hadn't noticed it while carrying it into the house. I cleaned it up, and slathered neosporin on it. Upon completion, the guinea promptly BIT ME IN THE FREAKING FACE. Grrrrr. It's in a cage with food and water now. Stupid guinea.

sorry but I am ROFL!!! Yep that is a guinea for you!!! Hope your okay but they are no the brightest. We lost one of our Jr. guineas they are 3 months old and I put a heat lamp out for them last week and I guess one didn't go in the shelter part of their A-frame when it rained and the darn thing I guess got wet and then cold and died! We had to take the other two (yes they stayed out in the rain as well) and put them in the shelter with a heat lamp to save them. Dumb birds!

I'll start saving them, Robin. I've got a Cochin mix girl in with them but I'll put her inside for a week while I collect eggs. Trust me-she won't mind a bit lol
Carrie, don't sweat it. I've come to realize someone somewhere is going to be offended the 1st 3 seconds you say/post something. You edited and you apologized (twice) so you're good It's not like it was an intentional mistake done for the sole purpose of offending someone.

carrie- consider it done and forgotten- cause i never saw it! Goodluck on the capstone! They geared us for that then when the time came graphic design seniors weren't eligable, just fine arts and photography.../.grrrrrr

My chickens all took a vote & said it is to cold to play outside. I haven't heard any crows or seen any birds out front. The goats are not even playing, they are just laying in the sun. DH is picking up the new goats tomorrow after work. I will do my best to get some pics of them after they settle in.

I'm going to quit having Thursdays ... woke up this morning to my khaki campbell girl headless. WHY is it always our favorite birds they get? Not sure what got her but now we're building an emergency shelter for the ducks on top of everything else.

I don't know whether to cuss or cry or both. If I owned a gun I know what I'd be doing tonight instead of sleeping though ...

Sorry Erin. Hope you are able to ward off any other predators.
