Definitely wasn’t on my bingo card yesterday. Received a text from the neighbor, two of the white guinea fowl were down by their house which is about 500yds away. One was high up in a tree.
If you know guineas, walking up and grabbing them is like wining the lottery. So corralling them back home took a group effort and their running ground speed is fast🤣but the hardest part was once they got into the brush along the fence line.
It wasn’t until I came to the farm that I discovered how badly I react to poison ivy. But you don’t think about it when you see an animal panic.
Afterwards, washed up and so far no flare ups 16hrs later. Fingers crossed.
I’m going out on a limb to say since this group wasn’t raised with chicks, they are more traditional guinea fowl behavior than the rest of the flock. They “fly” higher and farther, more zany and spastic🤣, and sound off at just about everything.
Gratitude and big thanks to our neighbors for being so understanding and helpful getting the two adventurers back home🙏🏼
