I'm SO sorry about your guinea loss. I don't have guineas, but I have always enjoyed watching and being entertained by them when I see them at other people's farms. I don't even want to imagine how devastating it was to find them all like that. Again, sorry.Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623233206043947281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-83937522989365383582009-11-23T23:21:47.160-05:002009-11-23T23:21:47.160-05:00UGH!

We have lost a couple here. We must have read the same book about being able to train guineas. So far ours do come in at night. So far.... Who knows when they will change their small minds and decide to stay in the trees. Sometimes they have difficulty just figuring out they can fly over the chicken fence to get in at night. Emma, our lab pup, brought one to the house in her mouth the other day. It was unharmed, just wet from Lab slobber. They aren't the smartest bird in the bunch. People talk about turkeys being dumb. Ours are very intelligent compared to the guineas. It still is painful when you loose something that you raised from such a small baby. Sorry to hear about that.<br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-66140268589557972452009-11-23T11:09:40.488-05:002009-11-23T11:09:40.488-05:00Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear of the sad fate of...Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear of the sad fate of most of your guineas. I have followed your stories and hoped for the best for them. We - especially the non-farms types - are so sheltered from the realities of animal life and death that take place on a daily basis in the "real" world. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a better day to Bee Haven Acres.<br /><br />Teacup Lane (Sandy)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664295814876984709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-36122312938507450272009-11-23T10:51:27.682-05:002009-11-23T10:51:27.682-05:00So very sorry about your guineas.

Not that we trained them (I wouldn't think you could!) they just went in there each evening.<br />On the other hand, predators don't just strike at night...I lost a goat to a lion last year on a summer afternoon. It's just something I learn to handle on an individual basis. I said no more goats...well, time helped heal that and I still raise goats and I do keep them locked up each evening, but I always keep a slightly nervous eye on them. When they start snorting, I scan the hill and creek for the predator... and like last week, I found him. When I go to town, I do worry abit that they are on their own, but not much I can do about it...they aren't fond of living in the barn 24/7!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-39597563121565625302009-11-23T10:02:17.158-05:002009-11-23T10:02:17.158-05:00I am so sorry.

It is painful to come across a situation like this when, especially it has to do with something that you care about. My heart goes out to you.countrynmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671253854427788011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-90676345898931196862009-11-23T09:21:40.036-05:002009-11-23T09:21:40.036-05:00I am so sorry about your loss of your guineas.

I always think it is to hard some how but the blessing far out weigh the hard times. After coming to live in the country, you learn so much about the predators. I hope your Monday is filled with other blessings. :)Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-57989225181451256002009-11-23T08:49:41.318-05:002009-11-23T08:49:41.318-05:00So sorry to hear about your guineas.
