So, I have been wanting a flock of Guineas lately. I hit up PeepsCA and she told me it's not the season for keets or eggs. Crapola
So today I decide to sit in my garden and watch Youtube videos of Guineas. So here I am minding my own business watching vids of Guineas chasing puppies and fighting snakes and all that Jazz. Then I came to a vid of Male guinea fowls make a ruckus. So I watch the vid and hear a ruckus in the tree tops in the valley below me. I went inside to make a sammich and get a drink. I came back outside and sat down. All of a sudden. like a scene out of Apocalypse Now with Ride of the Valkyries playing, a flock of 5 Guineas land about 5 feet away from me. I said WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot!?! They were mad or something because they are doing their loud call and puffing at my laptop. Was I a good boy this year and Saint Nick came early? My nearest neighbor is a 1/2 mile away from me and they only have a few chickens. So I get up and the Guineas stand their ground. Now they are less than a foot away from me. I reach to touch them but they back just right out of arm's reach. So I finished my lunch and go about feeding my quail. The quintet of guineas follow me into the quail pen. Weird. After the quails were fed and watered I start to leave the pen. Now in my head I'm thinking do I close the door and trap them in the pen? Then I thought. I better not. I'll wake up and all the quail will be massacred by the Guinea Mafia. So I open the door and they follow me out. As soon as they get out they fly up to the oak tree near the pen.
It's been a few hours since they flew up to the oak tree. I come back outside and they fly back down. Looking at me as though I owe them money or something. So I sprinkle some feed on the ground and they start eating. I wonder if they'll stick around. I'll see if I can snap a pic of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
