Poor Blossom. Heard a turkey screaming! Went running out of the house! Found Blossom in the driveway hysterical! She was at the gate crying. Opened the gate & she couldn't get into the yard fast enough. Guess she hopped the fence. And boy was she upset! The other two teenagers were talking back. Daisy was on the porch rail watching the show!

Wait....this guy spent time & money researching a Guinea fowl flock? And is surprised they have a social structure. Am I missing something? What's the difference between these birds & your average backyard fowls social structure? I missed something.

After my encounter with the two rogue guineas in our neighborhood...I've sworn off of them for life! I still have ambitions of eating one.

Cindy....the one thing that was pointed out was lack of poop! LOL! The first time I saw those commercials I was casually watching tv with some friends & blurted out that the bird looked like Sweet Pea.

No....I didn't mean two guineas add up to observing flock behavior....I was just saying that's my only experience with them and it did me in. I had with the crazy little creatures after that. My only interest in them is too eat one.
So his point is he didn't observe and fighting. I agree with your comments.

Flashpoint....I think I saw that on the news. The police took the chicken into custody too.

Our rain is here....but we are still holding at 60. Apparently the rain will move out before the temps drop. Whew!

Dang it! Down into the 30's already & still raining. I sure hope we don't get ice.

Talked to my sister in St. Louis. Nasty up there. Hope the Missouri folks aren't getting covered up!

It's sleeting here.

Coonhound hound wanted to go out. He took one step out the door, wheeled around and ran down the hall like a naked ape. Found him in bed with his blankie.
