Widowed single male lost his lifelong female

[CityGuineas]

Hello from San Antonio!
I had 2 coup trained Guinea fowl, one male, one female - for 5 years. Sadly, my female passed this spring. My male is well trained to stay within my yard and back neighbor,coup trained to come in at night. But he is still grieving. I don't want a female due to egg situation ea summer. But he is so sad. Would a youngish male be ok for him to have company?

I truly don't know how many traits guineas share with chickens, but among chickens, groups of males can live together happily as long as there are no females in sight.

Guineas have entirely different instincts and behaviors than chickens.

Do you have any advice for @CityGuineas ?

Thank you so much, hon! No females around hood unless I get one. Here's his one friend, a Grackle that comes daily to spend time with Guinea Lee!
