>I grew up with loads of Guineas and they’re such personable birds.
Can you get some chicks for the survivor?
I worry that he’ll grieve himself to death.
They’re extremely communal birds.<
I’ve got feelers out for a young hen. One friend has some eggs due to hatch in a couple of weeks, but those keets won’t be old enough to be out of the brooder for another month and a half after they hatch. I think he needs a friend sooner. I’ve considered putting one of the chickens with him if all else fails. He’s not real aggressive (he was the low man on the guinea totem pole) so he might accept a chicken buddy.
I’m very worried he might grieve himself to death. He’s never been without at least one other guinea, poor fella.
Put the chicken in!
My gramma had both and they ran as one big noisy pack!
He needs *somebody* ASAP.
I’ve had chickens sink into despair when they wound up alone and Guineas are far more intelligent birds.
He needs a buddy!
Put on your shoes and go toss him a chicken right now!
[I’ll wait until you get back]
