Our 2 female guineas are fighting

[BennieAnTheJets]

Guineas! Always something new!
Our Momma is having spats with her son now! I thought it would be dad fighting him off at some point, but nooah!, it's Momma!
To the point where I had to lock her out of the family pen because they keep going at it and knocking the water over. Go figure! The happy family..... Don't hold your breath with Guineas.
And I have seen it teh other way around, too: mortal enemies for days and then rubbing shoulders again at the feeder, as if nothing happened. Usually much later than human observers want to scream: so leave him/her alone already! S/he gave up a long time ago, you jerk! Guineas have their own judgement of when the point has been driven home sufficiently.
@R2elk has the experience again: depends on how evenly matched they are and how much they dislike each other. Well put! Totally agree.

They are all settled out today it seems, the little lavender female is right in the middle of the pack again while they run around. Last night it looked like she was ostracized, the others went into their run and she stayed out until I made her go in. Today, you'd never guess it was a knock down drag out yesterday. Guineas, holy cow, what unique creatures

Love the pic, I have a similar one and it always makes me smile. They get a celery stick to share every day, but I have to tear bits off for the lavender and the 2 youngers while the other 3 take turns eating it from my hand. They don'tcwant the others getting attention.
