Congrats 9farmgirl9, you are one of the lucky few that has tame Guineas
Mine follow me around because they know they will get treats and any bugs I happen to find for them (they are very food driven), but they keep their distance, are incredibly cautious and do not like to be caught or touched. The best most of us can hope for is for them to come when we call them, for them to roost in a safe coop or pen at night or for getting them to eat out of our hand... and some of us don't even accomplish that much. I've had hundreds of Guineas over the years, it's just not in their nature to be tame. I've found that when there are tame birds in your flock there is usually some type of underlying health issues or genetic disorder that makes them not as defensive, alert and active.
