Hi, I have 6 six week old guinea fowl. 1st time guinea fowl owner (or any other farm animal lol) At the moment, they are in my workshop. I've created a run for them and sleeping area with heat lamps. They are running around, flying around and seem to be wanting to be roaming outside. They are not full grown but are just about fully feathered. I want to let them out to roam, but scared they won't come back. We have a huge tree for them to roost in, and 1 acre to roam. But we are surrounded by neighbors' fields and pastures. They have 5 dogs that run wild, coyotes in the area and hawks that stay near (I saw 5 flying above our property yesterday). They've been in the workshop 3 weeks now. What is your experience with guineas? Do they come back? Will they be able to protect themselves from predators? I would love your feedback, thank you!
