Seriously, they can do that to you. Last Guinea fowl I had was a male who just showed up one day. He would perch on the deck railing each morning and make more noise than any rooster ever thought to make. After about 3 years he was taken by a fox.
You didn't bribe a fox to show up did you?

Then they began a game of "red rover" and ran to and from one end of the roof to the other, oh I didn't mention, the house had a tin roof!
