I never thought I would love my Guineas as much as I do. I was down in the barn a few minutes ago to collect eggs before heading back up to the house and about 25 Guineas had to follow me in to see what I was doing. I do not feed them in there, they do not even sleep on that side of the barn but they had to join me and talk me through it all.
Cryp, my lav Guinea girl that was in the shell too long, slept out on the barn roof the other night. DH and I tried to get her to come down to go to bed but she refused. I was so afraid an owl or early morning hawk would get her but she was fine and last night I made sure I got her penned before feeding time. She has been escaping the trampoline. I need to get them moved over but rearranging birds is such a hard task for me.
DH wanted me to put her down but she hobbles around fine, will probably lay eggs fine and if she had been a he then I would have had to but being a girl is a plus. Her only worry is when everyone roosts but her. That may be why she slept on the roof. The new pen will have to have a shelf for her. Like she will use it! You know how stubborn they can be!
My only white guinea has messed up feet from being in the shell too long but she has learned to roost on the bigger limb we have in the pen. Is it possible yours could do that? She has the funniest looking feet but gets around very well. She is only here because of her feet--I have gotten rid of all my other whites.
