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.
