Read your post about the missing peacocks and was reminded today that there is a guinea fowl living in the woods behind my parents house; I saw it just today trying to make friends with the local game birds which did not seem impressed. Do you have any recommendations for catching it and perhaps who to talk to to get it cared for?

I don't! I am a peafowl blog, and I don't know the first thing about guineafowl. My understanding is that they do not like to go into enclosed spaces (unlike peafowl), so getting them into a closed space may be a problem. I recently found myself in some guinea groups trying to find guineafowl eggs for my neighbor who wants a couple to hang out with his other birds, and as it turns out, everyone just wants a couple to hang out with their birds, no one appears to be super enthusiastic about breeding guineas. I could not locate someone to purchase eggs from, because everyone I talked to or saw in the group just had "a few" incidental guinea fowl who all fuck off and hide their nests somewhere. I don't even know what would be favored treats. I don't even know where to direct you to find answers, as I couldn't find much when I went looking for someone else.

But maybe someone else knows something.

Baby guinea hens! Saw them on the way home today; they're so tiny💕

Teenage guineas:) Much bigger than the wee ones but still have a lot of growing to do!
