Oh, and hope you don't have any shiny wheel rims or bumpers on your vehicles. Guineas love to look at themselves and fight, & scratch at the reflections and can near flake the chrome off 'em!

Thanks. It makes a great lure shed now.
I have nothing clever to put here.

My father had a lot of different birds. A bunch of turkeys, Peacock, Guineas, Pheasants and chickens.
There came a point after a couple of years my dad wanted to rid of the Guineas. Too noisy all the time.
So we boxed them up and delivered them to the state land with some scratch and corn. About a week later they showed up at another persons house about a mile away.
My dad never let on to the woman that they were his.

We had about 20 at our last farm, that constant sound makes me irritated and anxious. I was working on the roof and watched them all hassle a snake which they chased it in through my front door. We were having an outdoor fish fry at my son's place and one of his friends told him those guineas need oiled, they had a bad squeak. Hahaha that's gold, they sound like the windmill on my Dad's farm

I've had guineas 20-25 times and never had them to come back to a coop or pen, bought grown birds, hatched eggs, had keets given to me. Kept in coops for days or weeks, the first time free they were gone. But, I have known others that got grown birds or keets and they did stay around. I've seen them get about a 1/4 mile from home and still make it back by dark, never have figured out why they stay or go. If you raise guineas with chickens, it's easier to get them to go into the coop and to stick around. Keith
