Hi Everyone,
My little Sweet Pea has had some gentleman callers. These 2 beautiful boys showed up one day about 2 weeks ago and had our farm in an uproar. The Guineas and turkeys do not like invaders. They hung around for 2 days and left, but we could hear their calls off in the distance. Well Friday one of them came back. The second male was sort of lurking around. The bold one seems to have made himself at home. Eating and drinking and following Sweet around. I think she has finally realized that he is here to see her, and she still runs to me for reassurance.
Well something else happened this evening, I heard that honking noise that Sweet makes out back where my goats are. Sweet was already in her cage, the one male was in the yard and the other male lurking in the pasture across the street. Do only females make the honking noise? If so, there is another female behind my house. Is this normal for them all to come together in one area?
My only worry is that I allow Sweet to free range during the day and I do not want one of the males to lead her off. Is that a valid concern?
I have had hens show up at my house in the past. I do not know where most came from, but there was one who's owner we did find. She kept returning though, so he had to pen her up. Apparently she liked our males better than the ones at her home. I would not be 100% certain that she will stay.
