Hi, my guinea story would be unique, about 5 years ago we found a guinea fowl sleeping in the screen of our motor home, he had made quite a mess, so my husband removed the screen to clean it and so the guinea decided to move into the yard, he picked a corner where I had some potted trees, he would mostly spend his days there and fly up to a branch on the gum tree to sleep, I would throw out some seed each day for him until I found him eating the kangaroo meat I was feeding the Kookaburras, he loved it, I cut it up smallish pieces for him.
About 4 months ago I think, a female turned up outside, no idea where she came from but, one day she disappeared but came back for a feed every few days, I tried to follow her but he would not let me, about 5 weeks ago now, both mum and dad turned up with 15 Keets, they wandered around then dissapeared again till a couple of days later, minus 1 keet, for 2 weeks this was happening, till there was only 10 left, they took up residence in the potted area of the lawn, I continued to feed them seed and meat, now the past week they have been sleeping on the hand rail on my front deck, making a heck of a mess they are very healthy and all fly to the roof on the carport.
I have just been reading your site to find out at what age can they be given away, and if it is wise to separate them, I feel that we will have more babies on the way soon enough and my husband is over the poopy mess he has to clean daily.
 
I have read a bunch of new member introductions, but yours is certainly unique. You hooked me with the line about feeding kangaroo meat to kookaburras, then followed it up with the arrival of another "feral" guinea.

I hope someone is able to answer your question. All I can do is welcome you to BYC and thank you for your one-of-a-kind post!
