They would nest in a log on the ground and then leave the babies there and roost in the trees. Made a nice snack for the coyotes. Then the coyotes would wait for the adult Guineas to come down out of the trees in the morning. More snacking. My neighbor started out with 21 and ended up with just a couple of them left. Our banty hen hatched one of the Guinea eggs he managed to save. He took the hen home when it was grown but it came back and kept walking around our fenced chicken yard trying to get back in with its "Mum," who was only about a third its size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-36328881283228647852013-06-21T19:48:23.656-04:002013-06-21T19:48:23.656-04:00Very cool.

I love Muscovy ducks - they are so different from other types of ducks. Friendly and tail-wagging and funny hissing noises that aren't aggressive like geese can be. If I remember, don't they have blue eyes? I remember the females liked to sit on my lap. I had raised them from babies. Love to see photos of your animals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10685986.post-44163499839869067832013-06-20T13:25:03.029-04:002013-06-20T13:25:03.029-04:00The guineas are cute!

You can tell the females from the males by their call - females sound like "buckwheat" and the males sound like "chi chi chi" - does that make sense? :) We have so many guineas right now. At last count it was 35! They free range and we have lost a couple lately so it can be dangerous to let them out.
