Ha ha ha, a great laugh about guineas :-) Thank you Marie.

A few additional observations:

They sound many false alarms

May take up residence on your rose trellis outside your kitchen and shriek
for thirty minutes every night when the sun sets.

The male may latch on to your Polish crested rooster's tail feathers and run
each other ragged to the point of exhaustion.

Are extremely hard to catch

Lay really hard eggs that you can stand on without breaking them

May die when they decide to squawk at an approaching combine in the corn
instead of moving.

Taste good.


Regarding free range livestock and food safety--we train the wild rabbits to
stay on the perimeter of our fields, the raccoons to defecate only the
headlands, the deer to wait to relieve themselves until they are over at the
neighbors, and tell flocks of birds that they may not fly over our farm
without putting a tarp over all of the vegetables....
