I'm going to have to revise my statement about no intelligent life
found in guineas. These two are pretty savvy. They quit all that loud
screeching yesterday and strolled about their new acreage,
seemingly approving all that they found. At dusk, I was in the hay
barn getting ready to haul hay to the mares and one (guinea hen,
not mare) had gone to roost with my older flock of hens. I tried not
to spook her off the perch since I didn't know if she'd be able to find
it later.
When I hauled hay out back, the other one came to 'chick chick
chick' so I led her around to the field light in front of the
henhouse/haybarn. She darted here and there a moment and
hopped up onto the rafters to join her new flock. Mission
accomplished.
Today it's been raining, oh how it's been raining! I know I gripe
when it's so dry nothing will grow but the grasshoppers, but I
PROMISE I didn't do any raindances, so where did this stuff come
from? My yard is a lake and driving back to the house is a thing of
the past.
Guineas wisely stood in the hay barn and pleaded with me to get
out in the rain and come feed them. Of course I did.
