Our neighbors acquired some baby guinea fowl a couple of months ago. I think I mentioned them before as they all escaped and we were helping round them up.
Well, there seem to be 4 guinea fowl and one chicken now. Or maybe the chicken died because while we saw her a few weeks ago, we've not seen her since.
Anyway, the guinea fowl have grown fast, which is the way of poultry.
And now they are REGULAR visitors to our humble homestead.
Why? It might be in the enchantment of our old garden, which is a veritable thicket of weeds.
It might be the joys of sneaking into our barn, hopping onto the big van, and hanging out in the rafters. (Yep, happened last Sunday.)
But my best guess is that our chickens are the main attraction. On more than one occasion, our chickens and the neighbors' guinea fowl have faced off across the chicken wire. I don't know if they are exchanging convivial conversation, or threatening each other. But there is definitely interest and curiosity on both sides.
