Ours has a house too. I’ve had guineas for 4 years now. We have 18 acres and they never wandered off the property. I love their look although they are not very pretty to look at. We have been training them to come by ringing a bell and giving them scratch grain. I have geese and ducks as well and as there is some establishment of dominance, it’s not to the degree noted in the article. How I used to dread hearing their noisy convention coming down the road!! I love them as well. I would suggest anyone who’s looking for guineas make sure they know the breeding stock they came from. As such, they were raised together. Again I ramble, yes I have heard the ‘popular’ wisdom, of not to pen chickens and turkey together. I do not agree with the author of Gardening With Guineas whose book convinced me that they would be a wonderful bird to add to our new life on the land. I love that you actually understand what is actually happening. ahh I ramble, apologies. I love their sounds. If they keep the ticks in control this summer we will keep them other wise they will go. A coyote got in and killed one this week. The cats and dogs work as a pack, usually cornering an isolated fowl and have killed and eaten one once. It was spoiled. I am ready to find them a new home. I would 100% get guinea fowl. I grabbed the beams and was hanging there when I heard the smoke alarm going off in the house and thought, “!!!!! the first year is the worst for the noise, then they quiet down a lot! I live in Costa Rica and have a farm with many fruit trees . If you have time between farming and children please write some books. As for suddenly having a whole flock of Guineas that will be necessary since we live out in the middle of nowhere, and there are plenty of predators around. They were all raised in a coop together and are inseparable. Taste wasn’t bad…but the tissue never broke down…you were chewing on total rubber! I’ve had a few problems here and there but I’ve about got them figured out. Guineas are very light controled. If it weren’t for the chicken bullying, they’d still be here :). We had guineas about 15 years ago. We were vey surprised to see how tough these little chicks were. I could write a book (and I might one day), but not here. I unfortunately lost an entire flock at one time because they decided to cross a main road simultaneously. You might wait a few days for them to come home and then assume that they were nabbed by a fox or neighborhood dog and move on with your life. We don’t have chickens so that’s not an issue and she gets on well with both our dog and those of another neighbor. Their baaas are so pitiful when they see me. I’ll tell you now that they won’t eat many ticks in a covered run. When they got here and wouldn’t leave our female alone she and our Tom quickly grabbed one by the neck and threw it. I hope my group is exceptionally well behaved, because I got rid of my drake a few months ago because he was relentlessly mounting and picking on one of the ducks. We’ve had nothing but a good experience with our Guineas. Fences are not working. 1st: Guinea Hens are terrible parents! They protest the sight of the birds with extreme enthusiasm! I hope to always have guinies. 5. Well all birds are territorial when they have eggs. I have never raised turkeys, though they are on our list to add eventually. They come in each night and roost with the chickens. I love my guineas. Chicken wings are clipped by spreading out the wings and cutting the 10 flight feathers. They roost on their own near the chicken coop (where we kept them the first 2 weeks). Seems to be about 50/50, you lover em or hate em. Others too have told this very same story. It seems odd to name a country after a bird renowned for the American Thanksgiving holiday, but I assure you it is no coincidence.
